Where Were You In 72'

Take a trip with us. It’s a joyride! We are 3 players: with keys, several guitars and 1 humble ukulele, we explore the eclectic mix that lit up the pop charts in the early 1970’s. Through stories and song, you will experience the magic that was created during a unique time in music history and why these tunes are still relevant today. Peace, love and music. This is a BYOC event – Bring Your Own Chair! As we traverse the musical landscape of the ’70s, we’ll delve into the stories behind the songs, uncovering the magic that made this era so special. From the groovy rhythms of funk and soul to the introspective melodies of folk and rock, each tune tells a tale of its own – a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in musical amber.
