 Richie
Havens in Concert – Flagstaff: On Friday, February 13th,
legendary folk musician, RICHIE HAVENS, comes to Flagstaff’s Coconino
Center for the Arts. All Ages are welcome. Richie Havens is gifted with
one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery,
poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless
since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the
early 1960’s. It’s a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences
from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton
Presidential Inauguration in 1993 - coming full circle with the 30th
Woodstock Anniversary celebration, "A Day In The Garden", in 1999. For
over three decades, Richie has used his music to convey messages of
brotherhood and personal freedom. With more than twenty-five albums
released and a touring schedule that would kill many a younger man, he
continues to view his calling as a higher one. Read more about
Richie Havens.

 Thirty
Years of Rock and Roll: Photography by
Larry Hulst - Stockton CA: November 30, 2008 - January 18, 2009
Thirty
Years of Rock and Roll is an exhibit of
75 concert photographs taken by Colorado
Springs photographer Larry Hulst and
organized by the Colorado Springs
Museum. These images capture the
youthful exuberance and high emotions of
rock performances. They also document
how Rock & Roll has changed over the
last three decades. Included in the
collection are early rockers Chuck Berry
and Jerry Lee Lewis. Members of the
Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who
reflect the importance of the British
invasion. Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and
other folk musicians represent the
conscience of Rock & Roll. While looking
at images of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray
Vaughan, one can almost hear their
screaming blues guitars. Fleetwood Mac
and Pink Floyd turned rock into an
enormous industry, while Iggy Pop, Patti
Smith and other punk and new wave
artists tried to tear it down. Read more

Thirty Years of Rock and Roll.
