The unique nature of the Roots and Rhythms series has won the support and the hearts of local media. This series can be a great vehicle for letting the public know about your organization and you can have a direct effect on the perpetuation of musical growth in our area. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of an experiential presentation that reflects, teaches and entertains. In 2011 the Series begins a new emphasis, presenting music and performers that made significant contributions to American Music in the 1960s. We begin this new emphasis by presenting works of former Beatle, John Lennon. John Winston (later Ono) Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. In the mid-1950s he formed his first band, The Quarrymen who, with the addition of Paul McCartney and George Harrison, later became The Beatles. After some years of performing in Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany, "Beatlemania" erupted in 1963 after the release of their singles "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me". The next year the Beatles flew to America to appear on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and Beatlemania spread worldwide. John and the Beatles continued to tour and perform live until 1966, when protests over his calling the Beatles phenomenon "more popular than Jesus" and the frustrations of touring made the band decide to quit the road. They devoted themselves to studio work, releasing albums such as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Magical Mystery Tour" and the "White Album". In the late 1960s John began performing and making albums with his second wife Yoko Ono, as the Beatles began to break up. After the release of John's biggest hit, "Imagine", they moved to the US, where John was nearly deported because of his political views. Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman, a onetime Beatles fan angry and jealous over John's ongoing career.
