Library Lunch Break: Music of America

• When: Monday, September 14, 2026, 12:00 pm -  1:00 pm
  
• Location: Leon County Main Library 200 West Park Avenue Tallahassee, Florida 32301
• Cost: Free

Trace the evolution of American music from folk and field chants to the blues, R&B, rock 'n' roll, rock, and rap. Join us for a high-speed chase down the back roads of music history, from songs with no names and no identifiable authors to the pyrotechnics of modern arena concerts. Stick around for a discussion and bring your questions along with the title of a favorite tune or two.

This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
