Details »John Sebastian
Show Time : 7:00 PM
Over four decades the contributions of John Sebastian have become a permanent part of our American musical fabric.

This the Lovin' Spoonful did like nobody before or since, putting their ¬first seven singles into the Top 10. This was unprecedented, and utterly unthinkable at the height of Beatlemania. At first, they'd taken…
