"We are very excited to expand the stories we tell in the Music Masters program," said Lauren Onkey, vice president of education for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "Rock and roll caught fire around the world, and we want to reflect that in this program. The Rolling Stones were inspired by so many great American artists in creating their own original brand of rock and roll--it's an incredible story. We have an outstanding band to showcase the music of the Stones." "The Museum is proud to be honoring the Rolling Stones during their 50th anniversary year," said Greg Harris, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "In addition to our blockbuster exhibit, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world, we will take this opportunity to dig deeper into the story of this groundbreaking band that challenged and changed the face of rock and roll."
