Roger McGuinn, guest musician for June 1

Roger McGuinn has played with the Remainders for the last four years on various tours, and he will join us in NYC on June 1. Here's a write up by his wife, Camilla, on their blog about their last outing with the Remainders -- in LA last April. It also has some history to how Roger came to be involved with the Remainders. Here and here is some footage of Roger with the Remainders from that gig. And here is some cool footage that goes back a couple years.

The Rock and Roll Fantasy

The writing life versus the rock and roll life always comes up in interviews. Here are clips from Amy, Ridley and Greg. Enjoy.

Frank McCourt, guest for June 1 gig

Frank McCourt first performed on harmonica with the Remainders in Sun Valley, ID, in the late '90s. There was some confusion over which Beatles song it was to be. Mitch Albom and Frank chat about that moment at CBS while the Remainders await to play on the Late Late Show. Feeling a little Elvis?

Scott Turow

This isn't the first clip in which Scott claims to be the least talented musician in the Rock Bottom Remainders. We report, you decide.

Matt Groening

How Chaos Theory related to the Rock Bottom Remainders, was one of the audience questions at the event with Steve Martin. This opening question from that night is a case in point to the chaos. Get your tickets to see it yourself.

What instruments do folks in the band play?

What instrument do you play and what is your most shameful moment with the band? Enjoy.

Roger McGuinn and Ridley Pearson get down

Since we started this blog, we have gotten several e-mails wondering if there was any video of Roger McGuinn playing with the band. Here's Roger's new CD. Here's a clip of Roger and Ridley. Some of those e-mails also wondered if the band talked much about writing when they were on the road. Funny that you would ask, that also came up that night. Roll video.
