Roger McGuinn Music Lecture

Thursday, April 30, 2026 @ 2:00pm



Monmouth University - Pollak Theatre
400 Cedar Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ 07764

Experience the magic of rock history with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and The Byrds co-founder, Roger McGuinn, as he shares rare video, unforgettable stories, and the songs that defined a generation.

By 1964, Roger McGuinn was already an experienced figure in both the New York and Los Angeles music scenes when he co-founded the band that would become the Byrds, alongside Gene Clark and David Crosby. Before forming the Byrds, McGuinn had toured and performed as a guitarist and banjo player with the Limeliters, the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Bobby Darin. He also served as musical director for Judy Collins #3. After the Byrds disbanded in 1973, McGuinn embarked on a solo career, releasing five albums with Columbia Records and continuing to tour.

This workshop entry is free with the purchase of a concert ticket.
