Looking at history through the eyes of rock, Life is a Rock looks at a week in rock history. This show features old rock & roll, classic rock, blues, soul and more—playing songs that made history and songs about history. History gives us insight into who we were, who we are, and who we’re likely to become. Music, especially music that corresponds to that same history, can give great insight into our deepest emotions as we go through all the events that have shaped our lives. Life is a Rock, looks at our history through the eyes of rock/roll – the music that expressed our lives, our times, and even our future.
