Oxford Library to host musician's virtual tour of the history of rock and roll

Shared from an Oxford Library Facebook event page:

Join us at 2 p.m. Jan. 30 for a virtual 90-minute tour of the History of Rock and Roll with author and musician Craig Harris. Sign up at www.tinyurl.com/OxfordCTLibrary. Harris is a musician, teacher, author, photographer, and host of a weekly online show on Bluegrass Country.

Harris has taught and written about music for more than four decades. His latest book "Bluegrass, Newgrass, Old-time and Americana Music" was published in 2018. He’s also the author of "The Band: Pioneers of Americana Music" (2014) and "Heartbeat, Warble and the Electric Powwow: American Indian Music" (2016), as well as music-oriented reviews, articles and photos for newspapers, magazines, and websites.
His passion for music, however, goes beyond the printed word. A skilled percussionist/drummer, he has played with C.J. Chenier, Melanie, Rod MacDonald, Jonathan Edwards, Greg Brown, Merl Saunders, and Rick Danko (The Band). In addition to working with an acoustic Americana group (Two Days Jeans), he’s been a member of the Gaea Star Band (with whom he co-hosts a syndicated weekly radio show) since 2014.
