Music Americana: Born in Chicago – Music from the Second City

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Florida Atlantic University

Chicago has produced an extraordinary lineup of musicians who helped shape American music—from blues legends Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon to soul greats Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke, and Lou Rawls. The city also gave us rock pioneers, folk favorites, and legendary groups including Chicago, Cheap Trick, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Join Rod MacDonald for an entertaining musical journey through the artists, stories, and sounds that made Chicago one of America’s most influential music capitals.
