In this chapter, we address questions concerning the role of popular music in supporting creative ageing, and specifically in forming later-life musical identities. We focus on the experience of music-making in three 8-week cycles of weekly “rock hub” workshops, where older adult novice musicians learnt well-known popular songs, engaged in improvisation, and composed their own songs. This chapter draws on a thematic analysis of data that were collected via 42 structured interviews. Results have revealed older adults’ openness to engaging in a rock hub (comprising adapted rock band instruments) as a vehicle for creative expression through collaborative, exploratory musical activities. Furthermore, moments of significant interpersonal connection through popular music were recounted. Notwithstanding persistent challenges associated with a discourse of “I am not musical”, participants demonstrated the capacity for creative expression, musical development, and playful exploration of their identities in music. We offer another facet of what Bennett (2013) describes as a “reflexive understanding and use of popular music as a cultural resource in everyday life” for older people. While music, in general, is associated with improved wellbeing among older adults (Creech et al., 2014a), popular music, in particular, offered special opportunities for connection and creativity, pointing to a larger role it may play as well as to the need for further study in this area.
