BATH — Jesse Colin Young will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, at the Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington St.
As a founding member of the Youngbloods, Young has helped shape and influence American pop music for 50 years.
During the 1960s, the Youngbloods debuted the song “Get Together” as a beacon in the dark fog of war and riots that gripped America; a plea for understanding, brotherhood and peace. The song was ubiquitous, and still appears in films, television shows (from “South Park” to “The Simpsons”) and commercials. The song appeared on the first Youngbloods album in 1967, amid raucous, lust-driven blues-rock numbers, psychedelic-tinged aural visions, and gentle, folk-inflected songs of love.
Other Youngbloods songs to be remembered from later releases are the haunting “Darkness, Darkness,” and the heartbreakingly sweet “Sunlight.”
Young’s work reflected so much of the emotional landscape of the 1960s and 70s, that even today, his voice evokes very strong memories of those turbulent times for many people.
