Exhibition

Common Time: American Musicality

Griffin Museum of Photography
67 Shore Road
MA 01890 Winchester
United States

A celebration of iconic figures and movements in American music history. Featuring the works of various artists and collectors, the show brings together a multitude of eras and genres to display the everlasting influence of music on pop culture.

American music is one of the country’s most visible languages. Music is a salve for our souls, a connection to our memories, dreams, and aspirations. We all believe we can sing, or be in a garage band, or hum a tune while we drive. Jazz, blues, honky tonk, rock and roll, punk, and hip hop each emerged from our traditions, yet each went on to reshape how the rest of the world listens, moves, and speaks.
