Program Description

Event Description

Without Chuck Berry we would not have rock n roll as we know it - he was the greatest rock writer, one of the greatest guitarists and one of its greatest performers of all time.  Elvis was the spark that fueled rock n roll, but Chuck Berry became its heartbeat.  Rock historian Vinnie Bruno will take us from Chuck's early days in St. Louis to his extraordinary recordings at Chess Records to his off-stage exploits with the law and finally to his induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. John Lennon said it best “If you were going to give rock n’ roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry.”

This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. The URL for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants upon completion of registration and also one hour prior to start time. 

Not sure how to use Zoom? Take a tutorial with our Tech Librarian Alison.
