Roger McGuinn & John Sebastian May 2, 2009

Roger McGuinn continues to impress fellow musicians and audiences with his mastery of the 12-string guitar. His Grammy nominated Treasures From the Folk Den includes duets with Pete Seger, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins. Originally a co-founder of The Byrds with Gene Clark and David Crosby, he has had groundbreaking hits with Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn. Come hear why this folk-rock legend endures as one of the worlds most influential guitarists. John Sebastian founded The Lovin Spoonful, which played a major role in the mid-60s rock revolution with hits such as Summer in the City and Do You Believe in Magic? His celebrated history includes performances at Woodstock and its British equivalent, Isle of Wight. Most remember the theme song, Welcome Back from the Welcome Back Kotter show. Whether the stage is Carnegie Hall or the Pollak Theatre, John continues to spread his gospel of American roots music. This Rock and Roll Hall of Famer remains one of the best ambassadors of American music.
