The Rock and Roll Music of Our Lives: Join lifelong musician Wendy Fullem in the Atrium of the Performing Arts Center at SCCC on Friday, April 28, 2023, from 2:00 p.m., to 4:00 p.m., and take a walk through the history of rock and roll as it unfolded in the United States, from the days before rock (pre-1955) to the beginning of the 1980s. She will discuss how developments in the music business and in technology helped shape the ways in which styles developed while enjoying the exploration of the music and artists, emphasizing both the cultural context and the music itself.

She is a working musician and plays in multiple rock, blues, swing and punk bands.
