Join Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins on Thursday, May 22, for a virtual Book Club event with Daniel Rachel, author of a new book exploring the definitive and remarkable story of 2 Tone Records.In 1979, 2 Tone Records exploded into the consciousness of music lovers with albums by the Specials, the Selecter, Madness, the English Beat and the Bodysnatchers. 2 Tone was Black and white, a multiracial force of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues, racism, class and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and fought against right-wing extremism.“Too Much Too Young” is the definitive story of a label that, for a brief moment, shaped British, American and world culture.This event will take place virtually via Zoom. Tickets are $5 for nonmembers and free for Bob Dylan Center members.
