With a stellar lineup of musicians, the Black Rock Coalition travels back to the origins of rock ‘n’ roll. Join them in a land of 1,000 dances where Ruth Brown reigns and Big Joe Turner dominates as the brawny-voiced Boss of the Blues, while Wilson Pickett, the Drifters, and Sam & Dave crank out the hits.
