Roger McGuinn is best known as the frontman and leader of the influential 1960s folk-rock band, The Byrds, and for his signature Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar playing. The Byrds achieved many firsts: they were the first rock band ever to be signed to Columbia Records; they were the first major label band to fuse folk and rock; and they were the first band to record what's now known as alt-country with their seminal 1968 album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. The Byrds all-time classic hits include "Mr Tambourine Man," "Turn Turn Turn," "Eight Miles High," "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star," and "My Back Pages;" and their music has influenced a generation of musicians from REM and Tom Petty to Husker Du and Wilco. Roger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Byrds in 1991.
