The Retro Polatin Duo, Jill Goldman and David Polatin, will sing, play, and discuss some of the women who defied the odds and changed the landscape of rock and roll. This program is supported by a grant from the Bedford  Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
