    Music of the 1970s

    This talk will explore the musical sounds of the 1970s as a reflection of and shaping force on the decade. Through an interdisciplinary study, participants will gain a better understanding of the ways the decade's music was both a direct expression of the cultural context in which it was produced and a profound influence on the trajectory of musical sound and popular culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.

    Robert Fry is a principal senior lecturer in musicology and ethnomusicology at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, where he teaches courses in global music, popular music, fandom, and music tourism. His research focuses on tourism and the role of fandom in the production of a musical place, which he has written about in articles, edited volumes, and his book, Performing Nashville: Music Tourism and Country Music’s Main Street.
