Celebrate Brooklyn — Arts Festival in Brooklyn

Prospect Park Bandshell 9th Street & Prospect Park West, New York, NY, United States

Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music is his most ambitious project to date, a subjective history of the 240 years since America’s founding told through the music of the times. For his very special Celebrate Brooklyn! debut, he’ll present a supercharged slice of this project: a politically-knowing, enormous of spirit, and outrageously entertaining romp through 100 years of culture as seen through songs that range from Tin Pan Alley to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll to disco and beyond.
