Don McLean Concert History

Donald McLean III (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Known as the "American Troubadour" or "King of the Trail," he is best known for his 1971 hit "American Pie," an eight-and-a-half-minute folk rock song that has been described as a "cultural touchstone." His other hit singles include "Vincent", "Dreidel", "Castles in the Air", and "Wonderful Baby", as well as cover versions of Roy Orbison's "Crying" and the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You".
