Last Saturday, Vermont Public Radio aired a full program featuring recordings by artists who are going to appear in “She’s Got the Power” on July 30 at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. According to VPR, “It’s a celebration of a New York pop music sound that dominated the radio airwaves in the pre-British Invasion 1960’s, and which elevated female artists, many of them women of color, into the upper echelons of the then male-dominated teenage rock & roll scene.”
This week’s edition of WNET’s This Week at Lincoln Center features Lincoln Center Out of Doors. The 2011 season will begin with over 100 free performances in the plaza, including some from Billy Bragg and Mavis Staples.
