In celebration of the 50th anniversary of their album, "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo," The Byrds co-founders, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman, will hit the road to perform the album in its entirety and share stories behind the music. The tour kicks off Wednesday, June 6th at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, with additional stops in Los Angeles, Albany, Akron, and more.
"On March 9th, 1968, Roger McGuinn and I, along with many fantastic musicians, began recording the 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo' album at Columbia Studios in Nashville," shared Hillman. "It was truly a pivotal moment in our lives taking a turn toward the music we always felt a strong kinship with. We are honored that it has left a strong, long lasting impression on Country and Rock music. To celebrate this special time with Roger, Marty Stuart, and His Fabulous Superlatives is such a blessing on this, the 50th anniversary of 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo."
