The sounds and sights of the 1960s were on full display at the Rye Arts Center on Nov. 16 when The RAC and SPRYE hosted “EXPOSED: Unearthed Sights & Sounds of the 60’s Rock Revolution.”
Appropriately, more than 60 people turned up for the program, which featured music by The Old School Revue, including classics such as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” and many more.
Visitors could also view generation-defining photographs from the book “Exposed: The Lost Negatives and Untold Stories of Michael Friedman,” capturing the raw energy and the essence of a cultural revolution in music.
Friedman, the book’s co-author, spoke at the event. A manager/publicist for many of the decades top act, including Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, The Band, and The Bee Gees, Friedman told behind-the-scenes stories about the photos that were recently discovered at the bottom of a filing cabinet by Friedman’s wife and co-author Donna Vita.
The photos were a one-night-only display, but will be back along with many more. They will be part of Friedman’s “Unseen Photographs of Rock ’n’ Roll Legends,” an exhibit to be on view from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15 at the Rye Arts Center.
