Event Description

Join us for a fun all-ages presentation by the drummer for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, The Lovin' Spoonful.  

Long standing Lovin’ Spoonful drummer, Mike Arturi presents a unique look at the importance of the Lovin’ Spoonful in their ability to bring a wide variety of American music styles to the forefront of public awareness as a result of their incredible fame in the mid 1960’s. Styles including American Railroad songs, Folk, Delta Blues, Jug Band music, original 50’s era Rock and Roll and more are all ingredients that went into the sound and spirit of The Lovin’ Spoonful. 

The show includes a 30-minute spoken presentation accompanied by visuals and music samples followed by a live concert by Mike’s band ‘A Spoonful of Love’. Enjoy all the hits, deep album cuts and music that influenced the Spoonful as well as music the group went on to influence. Great stories are also shared from Mike’s unique perspective as a long-standing member of the band!
