Mr. Tambourine Man not only lived history, he also made history with his fearless sense of experimentation. As the leader of the influential 1960s group The Byrds, he was on the leading edge, combining the rock beat of The Beatles with the folk sensibilities of Bob Dylan, to create the genre known as “folk-rock.” Roger’s solo career began in 1973 and has yielded 10 albums, a Grammy® nomination, and extensive touring and performing for enthralled audiences ever since.
McGuinn will also present a workshop, which is open to the public with limited seating, on Sunday, March 25, 2012 at 2 p.m. The workshop will include aspects of rock history, musical techniques, and computer techniques used in McGuinn’s recordings.
