Classic Rock 93.1 KBDZ Welcomes An Evening with Roger McGuinn. The evening with Roger McGuninn 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.
McGuinn began playing guitar when he was 14 and left Chicago for his first professional job at age 17. The Limeliters sent him an airplane ticket to Los Angeles to play guitar and banjo on their RCA album “Tonight in Person.” It was during that recording time that he joined them at the Hollywood Bowl opening up for Eartha Kitt. Chad Mitchell heard about McGuinn’s abilities and asked him to join his group, “The Chad Mitchell Trio” as the accompanist on guitar and banjo. McGuinn toured with the CMT for a year or so but when Bobby Darin saw him performing, he immediately offered McGuinn a job to join his variety concert. Later, he became Judy Collins’ musical director, helped Paul Simon record the demo for “Sound of Silence” and was very active in the recording business as the “go to” guy for 12-string guitar.
Influenced by The Beatles and wanting to leave New York, he accepted a job in Los Angeles at the Troubadour folk club, opening up for Hoyt Axton. The folk audience didn’t appreciate the combination of folk songs and a Beatle Beat, but there was one musician that did. His name was Gene Clark. It was the beginning of a musical revolution. David Crosby, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke joined the duo and history was about to be made. The Byrds were born!
