CONNECTICUT ROCK 'N' ROLL A HISTORY

This book chronicles Connecticut's influence on the history of rock’n’roll incuding musical highlights of New Haven’s Five Satins, Gene Pitney’s rise to fame, Stamford’s the Fifth Estate and many more notable rockers.   Some events became legend, like Jimi Hendrix’s spellbinding performance at Yale’s Woolsey Hall, Jim Morrison’s onstage arrest at the New Haven Arena and teenage Bob Dylan’s appearance at Branford’s Indian Neck Folk Festival. With in-depth interviews as well as rare, never-before-seen photos, author Tony Renzoni leads a sonic trip that captures the spirit and zenith of the local scene.  Nuggets like these and other music memories are part of this new book, “Connecticut Rock ‘n’ Roll: A History.”
