The Byrds

The Byrds were an American rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. The original lineup consisted of Roger McGuinn (vocals, guitar), Gene Clark (vocals, tambourine, guitar), David Crosby (vocals, guitar), Chris Hillman (bass), and Michael Clarke (drums).

The Byrds are best known for their distinctive vocal harmonies and their blend of folk, rock, and psychedelic music. They were also known for their use of the 12-string electric guitar, which gave their music a distinctive sound.

The Byrds went through a number of lineup changes over the years, and by the late 1960s, only McGuinn remained from the original lineup. The band broke up in 1973, but their music continued to be influential, especially in the development of country rock and the psychedelic music scene.
