Rock on TV: Norma Coates on Shindig and Hullabaloo

An associate professor who holds a joint appointment in the Don Wright Faculty of Music and the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Norma Coates focuses her research on two areas: popular music and identity. Currently completing a book about popular music on U.S. television before MTV, Coates speaks today at 7 p.m. at the Rock Hall. Her talk will center on two musical TV shows, Shindig and Hullabaloo, both of which are featured in the Rock Hall exhibit Stay Tuned: Rock on TV. Admission is free, but a RVSP through the Rock Hall website is required. (Niesel)
