Civil rights sit-ins. Bell-bottoms. Anti-war marches. Student Power. Afros. Mini-skirts. Hippies. Riots. Space flights. The generation gap.

Those hallmarks of the turbulent 1960’s will be rekindled this year at the annual “Spirit of the ‘60’s Coffeehouse.”

The show begins at 7:30pm in the church basement but get there early for a good seat.

The Jazz Arts Group of Columbus (JAG) will present, for one performance, “Shine On: The Universe of John Lennon,” featuring guitarist Michael Occhipinti and his band, Shine On. This performance is part of JAG’s Inside Track Series that highlights small ensembles and up-and-coming artists. JAG’s presentation of “Shine On: The Universe of John Lennon” is sponsored by Fahn & Denny Tishkoff.

Tickets: $25 in advance; $30 at the door
