As we honor America250, this course explores the music that tells America's story. From folk ballads and spirituals to blues, country and modern-day America, we will listen closely to the artists and lyrics that have shaped the nation's cultural identity across generations. Together, we will examine how music reflects American history, struggle, faith, innovation and hope through the lens of artists whose songs capture the evolving American experience. No musical background is required, just curiosity and a love of storytelling through song. Each session will include guided listening, historical context and group discussion. Join us as we celebrate the United States of America's 250th birthday by exploring the songs that have helped define who we are.
