TUESDAY NIGHT RECORD CLUB: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S Nebraska

The Great Hall Auditorium

It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology, the way we consume music through our devices, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights in Woods Theatre to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss…there will be special guest moderators and panelists at each event! This discussion will feature BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S Nebraska. This event is free but registration is required.
