On Friday (March 30), singer/songwriter Roger McGuinn will be performing at Rockwell Hall. Founder of the legendary rock band The Byrds, he is one of the most influential guitarists in folk music and has toured with fellow folk-rock innovators Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and David Crosby. Opening for him will be local musician Maria Sebastian, who met McGuinn while she was playing at the Galleria Mall for the Music is Art Foundation’s Annual Instrument Drive. McGuinn and his wife, Camilla, liked Maria’s sound, and Camilla suggested “You should share a show with him some time.” The rest is history, or will be come Friday. Sebastian is one of the most talented rising artists in this area. Her latest album, Songs I Wrote in the Car, is primarily acoustic, and really compliments her fantastic voice. She opens the show, starting at 8pm
