Songs and Stories with Roger McGuinn

Join us for Songs and Stories with Roger McGuinn; lead singer and one of the founding members of The Byrds! 

Known for their hit songs “Mr. Tambourine Man”, “Turn, Turn, Turn”, and “Eight Miles High”, Roger McGuinn was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 as a member of the band. As a solo artist, he has released 10 albums and collaborated with, among others, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Chris Hillman. The Rickenbacker 12-string guitar is his signature instrument, and McGuinn developed two innovative and very influential styles of electric guitar playing. The first was "jingle-jangle", ringing arpeggios based on banjo finger picking styles he learned while at the Old Town School of Folk Music, which was influential in the folk rock genre. The second style was a merging of saxophonist John Coltrane's free-jazz atonalities, which hinted at the droning of the sitar, a style of playing first heard on the Byrds' 1966 single "Eight Miles High" and influential in psychedelic rock.

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician, Roger McGuinn!
