Princeton Public Library: Freedom Rewind with B.K. Rivers and Friends
Jun 14 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Freedom Rewind is a high-energy show celebrating America’s 250th by rocking back to 1976, the year of the Bicentennial and a defining moment in American music.
Celebrate America’s birthday and Flag Day by cranking up the volume and kicking it back 50 years to 1976, the year of the Bicentennial and some of the greatest rock and pop anthems ever made. Sure, we could play music from 1776, but let’s be honest, fifes and harpsichords don’t hit quite like Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, The Who, Boston, or The Eagles.
This high-energy concert features unforgettable hits from the artists that defined a generation. Taking the stage is local band B.K. Rivers along with some added guests to create “Freedom Rewind,” a powerhouse tribute band ready to rock the soundtrack of ’76.
Whether you lived it or just wish you had, this is your chance to celebrate the music that rocked a nation during its 200th birthday. So break out the denim, dust off your vinyl, and celebrate America’s 250th with Freedom Rewind!
As part of the Voices of Princeton oral history initiative, the event also encourages community members to share memories of 1976 and thoughts on 2026, by sharing for preservation their personal stories that connect the U.S. Bicentennial to its Semiquincentennial through music, memory and lived experience.
