Roger McGuinn at Memorial Hall

Roger McGuinn

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roger McGuinn's distinctive blend of folk-rock and penchant for brilliant songwriting was not only the lifeblood of American Classic Rock icons The Byrds but inspired his peers, from The Beatles to Tom Petty. Nothing says more about McGuinn's pioneering creative spirit than The Byrd's 1968 studio album 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo', which played a pivotal role in the creation of the country-rock genre.

She has always had an eclectic taste, having explored a range of sounds, from Pop, Rock, and Roll to Broadway classics, such as the celebrated 'Send in the Clowns'. An evening in the company of enigmatic Judy Collins promises to inspire and thrill in equal measures.
