About this Event

70s decadence, 80s excess and 90s angst. Gen X saw the birth of the internet, cable tv, and MTV. We saw the beginning and end of the Cold War and the war on drugs. Raising ourselves, drinking from the hose, we survived recessions, dialup internet, rotary phones and lawn darts. Movies went from theatres to VHS to DVD. Music went from Vinyl to Cassettes to CDs.
Gen X also saw the greatest evolution of music in history. Arena rock, disco, punk, metal, glam, hip-hop, rap, techno, pop and grunge. This was a period in time that saw cultural shifts every few months and the music was a reflection of that.
Big Awesome’s is comprised of seasoned musicians who share a deep love for the raw, authentic energy of Gen X music. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering the tunes that shaped a generation, Big Awesome delivers an unforgettable journey through the music of an explosive era, honoring the spirit of innovation, rebellion, and freedom that defined the times.
