Roger McGuinn

Roger is an excellent, engaging storyteller who takes the audience on a jingle-jangle journey across the evolution of folk music into folk rock, with modesty that makes his creative skills ever more worth appreciation

This is a "one man show" in which Roger takes you thru high points of his life & career thru stories and songs. This included backstories of the Byrds songs you know and love. His voice is strong and unchanged, coupled with his incredible guitar playing this a show not to miss.

He told great stories along with every song, was funny and poignant to the era and about all the other artists he has played with. His guitar playing is excellent and his singing was sharp and clear! He is still relevant to what rock is and was. A great evening of entertainment that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Great show, very personal with lots of interesting stories and great music. We love the Armstrong - it's a great venue, easy parking, clean and adequate restrooms and nice for us, 5 minutes from home. Roger's wife manned the sales area where they sold personalized or autographed CDs and a few other things. It was nice to meet her as well. Fans since we were teenagers, we really enjoyed every aspect of this show. We are not joking to say our tombstone is engraved with "to every thing, there is a season."

Thank you, Roger! What a great show! The stories, the music, the vibe…all grrrreat. A memorable time.

I have attended Roger's McGuinn's solo shows in each of the past five decades, and this was the best yet. And that is saying a lot. Roger's solo shows have evolved continuously. They contain a blend of stories and songs and reflect the musical journey his life has been. At Waldoboro he alternated between four different instruments. For fans of the Byrds, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Band, the most recognizable sound is that of his signature electric 12-strong Rickenbacker, which he played to back classic Byrds songs such as "Mr. Tambourine Man," My Back Pages," and "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star." At Waldoboro Roger had the crowd engaged from start to finish. Roger has a unique talent for getting the audience involved, and encouraged all to sing along on the familiar hits. Accompanied by his banjo, Roger coached the audience to back him with a unique 1-2 clap pattern. I have seen him do this on countless occasions, and the results are often funny as the fans often struggle with such unfamiliar timing. Roger uniquely matches stories and songs reaching all the way back to his first musical adventures as a teenager, and over the course of the evening the audience learned about his evolution as an artist and the unique influences that contributed to his musical growth. What a night! If Roger is appearing anywhere near where you live, and if you love live music, get those tickets now! Peter Hanrahan

It was a great show, and it was amazing to listen to him talk about his life as a guitarist. So many great songs were written and performed by him. I enjoyed every moment.

Superb show. Not only is Roger a great musician; he is also a minstrel with awesome stories to tell.

He put on a very entertaining show with great background stories.

Ummmm... I did not go to Roger's show. Was not aware of the date until it was too late for me to make arrangements, May go to show in Norwalk CT. I have seen Roger many times, I'm sure the show was great - he always is. I did see Roger last year in Rhode Island.

This was a phenomenal show! His voice and guitar artistry in full display and woven together by his fascinating, detailed and witty narrative of his career and music evolution. Kind of like a Masters class from a most noted Professor! Do not miss this and try to see him in a small, intimate venue.

Fantastic Show!!! loved his banter and stories between the fab music!

The Roger McGuinn appearance at the San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday was everything one could want and expect...and then some. Roger took us through his "Back Pages" from a being a young lad wanting his first guitar through his catalogue of work over the decades with the biggest names in rock history. I saw McGuinn a few years ago in Kirkland, WA at a small 400-seat venue. And last night's performance was similar, yet even better. At nearly 80-years of age, the fingers were nimble on the various guitars and banjo, and the voice was excellent as expected. Well worth the money and McGuinn poured his heart and soul into the two-hour performance. Thank you Mr. Tambourine Man!

Roger put on a fantastic performance in an intimate venue. Amazing on the guitar as expected and incredible to hear him live on the Rickenbacker 12 string. He does a great job of mixing storytelling with his music. One would not know he is 79 year’s old!

Roger was very interactive with the audience, encouraging them to sing along. He regaled the stories behind Byrd hits, and was very engaging. He had at least 5 different guitars/banjoes with him, and had great stories about them too. When I last saw him play alone in the mid 1980s, I don’t remember him being as engaging and interesting as he was last night. I’m so glad I gave him another chance!

Voice is still there and his unique banjo rolling technique on full display. If you love solo guitar ...i highly reccommend it..

Not my favorite Byrds album but a really great show. Great harmonies and excellent musicianship . Very real and organic music . Acoustics of the venue were very good.

Awesome concert. Loved hearing the Byrds (McGuinn and Hillman) again and Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives played so well together. Totally enjoyable evening.

Awesome! A bucket list concert for me. Wasn’t sure McGuinn and company would play much of the old Byrd’s stuff but they played everything and everything well. Chris Hilliard was outstanding as was Marty Stewart and the Fabulous Superlatives.

The night was perfect. I enjoyed every story and every song. It is impossible to please a crowd any more than you did last night. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
