Follow on Google News | Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Milwaukee's Rock and Roll AuthorLarry Widen will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
“I’d like the book to serve as a reminder that rock and roll was created in an age when some musicians played in a segregated part of the city,” says Widen. “The music created resonated with a new generation of musicians who took it to the next level while paying homage to the sources.” Many of the images featured have never previously been published and come from the author’s personal collection, in addition to numerous other sources. In its pages, readers are able to see the venues and festivals that hosted various rock powerhouses, from the Arena, Summerfest, Eagles Club, as well as about two dozen bars and clubs that no longer exist. Widen shares vintage concert ads and posters, as well as offstage images of fan interactions with the likes of KISS, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Johnny Winter, Joan Jett, and other rock stars the author personally interviewed.
