The Center for the Arts
Genre: Folk, Rock Roger McGuinn, founder of the influential folk rock band The Byrds, brings his acclaimed “Songs and Stories” performance to The Center for the Arts on October 10, 2026. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, McGuinn is widely recognized for pioneering the jangly 12-string guitar sound that helped define the folk rock movement of the 1960s. In this intimate solo performance, McGuinn combines iconic songs with personal storytelling, offering audiences a rare, first-hand look at the music and moments that shaped a generation. From chart-defining hits to deep cuts and traditional folk influences, the evening highlights a career that continues to resonate across decades.
