Event Calendar

Roger McGuinn begins every show the same way — with the stage dark and the sound of his signature 12-string Rickenbacker guitar filling the house as he approaches the standing microphone to sing his smash hit Bob Dylan song,"My Back Pages." From there, he takes the audience on a ride through his decades-long career all the way to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 

Born in Chicago, Roger McGuinn began playing professionally at age 17, first with The Limeliters and later with The Chad Mitchell Trio and Bobby Darin. After moving to New York to work as a songwriter and session musician, he became Judy Collins' musical director, helped Paul Simon record the demo for "Sound of Silence," and was active in the recording business as the go-to guy for 12-string guitar. 

But it wasn't until McGuinn left New York for Los Angeles to open for Hoyt Axton that a musical revolution was born. Alongside Hoyt Axton, Gene Clark, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman, he formed The Byrds, whose groundbreaking sound helped define folk rock for generations and produced hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" 

Since leaving The Byrds in 1973, McGuinn has released acclaimed solo and collaborative recordings, founded his own recording label, championed traditional folk music, and continued recording and touring for fans around the world.
