HTP EP 05: Connecting To History Through Music Vol. 1 “Rock n Roll Edition” May 22, 2020

Show notes

Hosts Matt Borders and Pat McGuire are joined by the Director of Civil War Pittsburgh, Rich Condon to discuss how music can connect us to history in unique ways. Rich like Pat has an additional perspective on this subject because both have spent time as professional session and touring musicians!
In this episode we picked a few of our favorite songs that either connected us to historical events or that we found fascinating in their interpretations and we open forum discussed them. Sifting through the worlds of skater punk, folk rock, classic rock, southern rock, more contemporary songs, and heavy metal, Matt, Rich, and Pat take you on a journey through history via the beautiful experience of music.
Thanks for listening, enjoy the show!
