Rated 3.0 by 2 members who went.

One of the most influential bands of the 1960s, the Byrds pioneered a brand of folk-pop which combined the eloquent lyrics and social activism of Bob Dylan with the melodic sense and psychedelic influences of the Beatles. Second Flyte plays this classic band's music at B.B. King's; they've received praise from the Byrds' own Chris Hillman, among others.

Event Highlights

  • "Second Flyte are a great bunch of musicians and a great bunch of guys. They do the Byrds proud with their musical tribute to our songs." --Chris Hillman of the Byrds

More Details About This Event:

The Byrds combined the upbeat, melodic pop of the Beatles with the message-oriented lyrics of Bob Dylan into a wholly original sound that would be branded folk-rock.

Second Flyte is a true tribute band that will transport you back in time to experience the sights and sounds of a Byrds concert circa the era of 1965-68, back to an era where "flower power" and rock and roll were exploding on all fronts.

Members:
Ed Embrey as Roger McGuinn
Steve Arrington as David Crosby
Will Newman as Gene Clark
Mark Moehlenkamp as Michael Clarke
John Johnston as Chris Hillman

About B.B. King Blues Club:

Conveniently located in the heart of Times Square near Penn Station and Port Authority, The B.B. King Blues Club & Grill offers music fans a unique experience. Owned by the Bensusan Family, proprietors of the world renowned Blue Note Jazz Club, the club features world-class musical talent and consists of two distinct spaces: the Showcase Room & Lucille's Grill.

Showcase Room
The breathtaking main space is classical in form and spirit: two-tiered, horseshoe-shaped seating (booths & tables) centered around a 30-foot stage presents up close and personal views of all performances. The 40-foot bar is a haven for the reserved listener. The atmosphere is enhanced with two 8-foot big video screens on either side of the stage.
