• 16 • The Pinecone | March 2021 Mar 19: Music with Side Street Steppers The Side Street Steppers are a page from America’s past, playing rare and popular music from the 1920s and 30s. Dubbed the Golden Age of Gramophone Re- cording, the two decades between 1920 andWorldWar II saw the rise of jazz and the birth of the blues, the demise of rag- time and the emergence of hillbilly mu- sic that would become known through the world as country music. The Side Street Steppers present a pastiche of this transformation of the American musi- cal landscape, performing on vintage and homemade instruments.
