When Beatlemania reached America, it triggered a huge cultural shift. Suddenly everything British was interesting and sexy. Following the Beatles' success, a parade of hot, exotic young bands arrived on our shores and on the charts. Herman’s Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Chad and Jeremy, The Rolling Stones, and many others brought hit after hit to our shores. Dawn Indermuehle and Rick Spencer present their versions, with historical background, on some of their favorite British Invasion songs.
Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle develop and present a series of theme-based music and history programs. They present songs that give cultural insight into interesting times, places and events in American history. Rick and Dawn carefully craft their vocals and accompaniment to sound as true to a song’s era or style as possible. Their vast repertoire includes music from the Colonial era to the present day. Rick and Dawn use these songs to illustrate the evolution of our nation’s culture and history in an informative and entertaining way.
