Women Singer-Songwriters of the 1970s program at Elgin Public Museum
Women Singer-Songwriters of the 1970s program at Elgin Public Museum
March 27 @ 6:30 pm
Elgin Public Museum Director (and frustrated singer-songwriter) Sharry Blazier presents a unique program examining the lives, loves, and music of four of the greatest female singer-songwriters of the 1970s: Janis Ian, Carole King, Carly Simon, and Joni Mitchell.
What are their backstories? How were their young lives influenced by the rapid social changes of the 60s-70s, and how did they influence their female fans in return? What gives a Joni song its distinct musical sound? Why was Janis a “has-been” at only 16? You’ll find out — and so much more.
-$5.00 admission
