The Village Rockers is a music club that will meet weekly, bringing together musicians, singers and spectators interested in rock and roll music of the 1950's, 60's and 70's.
Our application was submitted to the Villages Recreation Department the middle of February 2020; unfortunately, the COVID-19 epidemic has delayed issuance of any new club charters.
Since then, we have had over 200 requests for membership.
Awaiting a post-COVID charter as a "Resident Lifestyle Club", we will be open to all Villagers who appreciate rock and roll music of this era.
During our weekly meeting, we will feature and perform songs from individuals, groups and bands that we listened to, danced to and loved. There will be a moderated discussion and we may even enjoy videos suggested or provided by club members.
Prior to the meetings, club members will be allowed to identify, by email submissions, their favorite songs via Youtube videos, Wikipedia links, sheet music or other Internet music sites.
Then, we intend to email a weekly "assignment" sheet to each member, listing the songs that will be played by those in attendance. The assignment will show the Youtube links thru which we can become intimately familiar with each piece.
