Seeds of the Sixties: San Mateo and the Echoes of Change
About this Event
The Sixties counterculture associated with San Francisco actually began a decade before, on the Peninsula. Join Eric Dentler on a musical multimedia tour as he describes San Mateo's significant role in the counterculture movement during the 1960s. The first Bay Area pop-hit band, The Beau Brummels, was the house band at the popular club The Morocco Room at 2010 S. El Camino Real. Pacific Recording Studio, located at 1737 S. El Camino Real, had one of the first 16-Track, state-of-the-art Ampex tape machines in the nation. Santana, The Grateful Dead, the Doobie Brothers, and many other bands recorded albums there.
Eric Dentler is a technology veteran who formed his first band during the dot-com era. After filming folk legend Joan Baez performing at a rally outside the Redwood City Courthouse, it sparked a lasting interest in the counterculture movement in him. He now volunteers with the Belmont Historical Society.
This event will be in the Oak Room at the San Mateo Main Library. Reservations or tickets are not required nor accepted.
