Take a heartfelt, humorous, and tender musical journey back in time with acclaimed singer-songwriter Marc Black in this unforgettable two-person show that celebrates the spirit, culture, and music of the Woodstock Generation.
Part concert, part storytelling, and part visual time capsule, Growing Up in the Woodstock Generation is a multi-dimensional experience designed to entertain, enlighten, and evoke nostalgia. Much like Marc's acclaimed “History of the 1950s and '60s Through Popular Song,” this program dives deep into the transformative decades of the '60s and '70s—where music wasn't just the soundtrack to our lives, but a driving force behind social change, spiritual exploration, and a new way of seeing the world.
Marc serves as both your musical guide and cultural historian, performing iconic songs of the era—alongside his own originals—with warmth, wit, and wisdom. Each song is artfully framed with vivid storytelling, transporting audiences to a time of flower power, protest, poetry, and personal awakening. Expect laughter, reflection, and spontaneous singalongs.
The show is enhanced by a sparkling multi-media presentation by Susan Black, weaving together archival images to create a rich, immersive experience that captures the spirit of the times.
And it all comes to life on Claudette, Marc’s beloved guitar of 50 years, a constant companion on his musical journey.
Marc also shares captivating personal anecdotes, including tales from his high school band’s rise to the Top 40 and tours with legends like The Doors, Van Morrison, and Neil Diamond. These moments add a rare and intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Woodstock era.
Whether you lived through it or wish you had, this event is a tribute to the joy, struggle, and soul of a generation that redefined music—and the world.
Come together for an evening of timeless music, heartfelt memories, and the undeniable spirit of the Woodstock Generation.
