"A TRIP INSIDE THE JUKEBOX OF A GENERATION"

Welcome to The Magic's in the Music – a unique narrated concert experience written specifically for the Baby Boomer generation. This extraordinary musical journey features carefully curated songs by some of the greatest songwriters of the classic rock era, selected for their powerful lyrical content that takes you back to the times when "groovin' was groovin'" and music reflected the emotional tone of life.

In this dramatic presentation, we guide you through the history and impact of rock music, playing selections from "the jukebox of our lives" while encouraging you to be fully present with both the words and melodies. Let your mind and imagination run free as we explore whether you still believe in magic, and allow us to evoke your own fondest musical memories in this immersive experience that celebrates the soundtrack of a generation.
