Assembly: Where did rock music come from? The History of Rock n' Roll examines the roots of rock n' roll (the work song, gospel, blues and folk) and demonstrates the mixture of styles that provided the groundwork for rock music. The performance then carries the listeners through the development of other rock styles that blossomed - rhythm and blues, pop, southern blues, progressive rock, fun dance, hip hop and others, rocketing forward in time into music that is popular today.

Lead by chart-topping, multi-faceted recording artist Eleanor Academia, The History of Rock n’ Roll is a power trio comprised of Academia on keyboards and guitar, with veteran band mates Daniel Pearson on bass and Oscar Seaton on drums. Media and sound are provided by David Del Boccio. Academia is an accomplished vocalist, composer, lyricist, arranger, producer and engineer, as well as a skilled multi-instrumentalist. She produced her own rock album, “When You Live,” and previously produced, wrote & performed the number one Billboard Hit “Adventure” on Columbia Records, and “Global Conversations” for Epic/ Sony Records. She was awarded Artist of the Year by Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan.
