Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Roger McGuinn returns to the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre for the first time since 2018!
He has not only lived history, he made history with his fearless sense of experimentation. As the leader of the influential 60s group, The Byrds (Tambourine Man, Turn, Turn, Turn), 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.”
His groundbreaking work on The Byrds Sweetheart Of The Rodeo album, is widely credited with ushering in the genre of country rock. Roger’s solo career began in 1973 and has yielded 13 albums, a GRAMMY® nomination, and extensive touring and performing for enthralled audiences ever since.
An evening with Roger McGuinn begins with the stage dark and the sound of Roger’s 12-string Rickenbacker guitar filling the house as he approaches the standing microphone to sing his signature Bob Dylan song My Back Pages.
He always begins his concerts with this song because he takes the audience on the journey through which his love of folk music took him to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 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.
Roger can provide an educational seminar which includes aspects of rock history, musical techniques, and computer techniques he uses in recording.
