CAMDEN — Marc Black, NY Blues Hall of Fame inductee, will put on "Boppa Chua! The 1950s and 60s Through Popular Music" Tuesday, July 16, at 6 p.m., the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library.

“This two-person show is a multi-media and multi-dimensional presentation in song, storytelling and plenty of laughter, with Marc as our guide for a trip through those memorable and colorful decades,” said CPL, in a news release.

Free and open to all.

From bobby socks, through the space race, and on to civil rights and classic rock, audiences have found this show to be entertaining, inspirational and even a bit educational, according to the release. Songs as diverse as Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini and Blowin’ in the Wind lead to spontaneous singing springing up all around the theater.

Black’s history includes his high school band, The Blades of Grass, hitting the top forty and touring with the Doors and Van Morrison as well as his recording and performing with the likes of Art Garfunkel, Taj Mahal and Richie Havens.

“He embodies the confidence and originality that comes from his lifelong dedication to his craft,” said CPL. “And to bring this exciting show altogether, his wife, Susan, has created a unique visual presentation that perfectly complements Marc’s music filled storytelling.”
 
Together, Susan and Marc (along with Claudette, Marc’s guitar for more than 4 decades) travel the world and light up the stage night after night with the pure joy of music and memories.
