Beatles Authors Bringing '60s Music Presentation to Tempe

Joe Carroccio, co-author of the book 16 in ’64: The Beatles & The Baby Boomers will be presenting “The Great Music Transition of the ‘60s” at Tempe Public Library in Arizona on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Marti Edwards, Carroccio’s co-author and the subject of the book, will also be on hand. A lifelong music fan, Edwards had the thrilling experience of meeting The Beatles in 1964 and presenting them with an honorary plaque from her fan club. Wanting to share her story and photos from the event with other people, it was suggested she write a book. With the help of Carroccio, she did just that.

The presentation itself will focus not just on The Beatles, but on the revolutionary music of the 1960s as a whole. It will be an interactive conversation with the audience about how music changed and evolved in America during the 1960s.
