On Wednesday, June 26th singer and songwriter Jon Waterman will perform "A Journey through the Roots of American Popular Music” at the Gore Place Museum at 52 Gore St. in Waltham at 7:30pm. The show will take place in the Carriage House. The program consists of original songs and history, and explores some of the fascinating characters and events at the roots of the blues, country, rock and other genres of American popular music. The show also touches on the darker side of American popular music as well as how music helps shape our identity as a people. Songwriter and musician Jon Waterman has performed his music and history programs in venues throughout New England as part of a series called Live Music Making History Live. The series was designed to encourage the celebration and exploration of history through music. The program is supported in part by a grant from the Waltham Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
