    Syllabus for San Francisco Rock of the 1960s Instructor: Richie Unterberger, [email protected] OLLI Berkeley at Lafayette Week 1 I. The Roots of the San Francisco Sound A. Blues, soul, rock'n'roll, jazz, and folk are recorded in the Bay Area throughout the 1940s and 1950s, without establishing a strong regional identity for San Francisco popular music. Key artists include: Lowell Fulson, Jimmy McCracklin, Vince Guaraldi, Bobby Freeman, Barbara Dane, and the Kingston Trio. B. San Francisco radio DJ Tom Donahue helps establish a rock label, Autumn Records, that gets one of the first Beatles-styled national hits by an American group with the Beau Brummels. Key artists: The Beau Brummels, the Mojo Men, the Vejtables. C. Kingston Trio manager Frank Werber handles We Five, who have one of the first folk-rock hits with "You Were on My Mind" in 1965. Meanwhile, the Beau Brummels mature from British Invasion imitators into a folk-rock sound of their own. Key artists: We Five, the Beau Brummels. Other themes: the growth of independent record labels and studios in the Bay Area; the power of local radio DJs and AM radio stations. II. The Birth of Underground San Francisco Rock A. Young adults and students start to populate the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, bringing with them a new counterculture and a hunger to create art without commercial restrictions. Key artists: the Charlatans, the Great Society, Big Brother & the Holding Company. B. Jefferson Airplane's founder and singer, Marty Balin, opens the Matrix Club in the Marina for the band to play in summer 1965.
