Also featured are Salerno newcomers TJ Conwell and Nathalie Hostin. Featuring the music of artists such as Dion and the Belmonts, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and Smokey Robinson and The Miracles to Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Creedence Clearwater Revival, COAST-2-COAST: HITSVILLE, USA revisits the birth of Rock-n-Roll, the surge of Motown and the California sound.
