Beatle “Happenings” (with cocktails!)
Bite-sized lectures that present an archaeological dig into the history and creative process behind the music of The Beatles. Each week will cover one year of the 1960s, and provide a deeper understanding of the band through the lens of the albums. Guaranteed to be fun and informative for every level of fan, from Beatle-beginner to Beatle-manic! Class will be followed by a listening party and album-inspired cocktails that participants are taught to make themselves. Feel free to dress on-theme, you dig?
