John York, formerly of The Byrds, is one of the key players in California country-rock in the L.A. area. He is also one of five surviving members of The Byrds. He recorded three albums  with the band as bass player and vocalist in 1968:  Dr Byrd and Mr Hyde, The Ballad of Easy Rider and Live at the Fillmore.
For this very special event John will be focusing on songs from these three Byrds albums and bring back the signature Byrds sound as well as give the songs his own twist, which is unique, dynamic and entertaining. As a member of one of rock's most historic and loved bands, come see John York 'go back' to the music that helped form his youth as one of L.A.'s legendary country-rock artists.
Matt Cartsonis was called 'Sin City's Sideman' by the Americana-roots country e-zine, Turnstyled Junkpiled. He has played on the same stage and recorded in the same studios with Warren Zevon, Pete Seeger, Jennifer Warnes, David Bromberg, Steve Martin and Glen Campbell. His most recent collaboration with John McCuen has landed him twice on the legendary Grand Ole Opry broadcast in Nashville. McCuen's hit album, Made in Brooklyn, which features Matt on guitar, mandolin and vocals, is a Grammy bound masterpiece
