Although many vocalists sang their own songs, including early rock & rollers like Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, the term singer/songwriter refers to the legions of performers that followed Bob Dylan in the late '60s and early '70s. Singer/songwriters drew primarily from folk and country. Chanhassen favorites, The Fabulous Armadillos, will perform "Singer/Songwriters," shining a light on the latter '70s when the first wave of singer/songwriters dispersed into soft rock, experimental avenues, and straight ahead pop. Hear songs made famous by artists including: James Taylor, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, Carole King, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Elton John and others. Many contemporary singer/songwriters would also find success by writing with the introspection and intimacy of these early troubadours. The Fabulous Armadillos will showcase many of these songs and artists from the early '70s to today, with "Singer/Songwriters."
