The Yardbirds features a lineup of innovative and legendary musicians— notably, of course the  Yardbirds’ leader/drummer/singer/co-founder Jim McCarty, guitarist Godfrey Townsend (John Entwistle,  Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Ann Wilson of Heart, Jack Bruce, Mark Farner, Christopher Cross, Flo and  Eddie, and Dave Mason) bassist Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Hall & Oates, Billy Idol, Derringer, Joan  Jett), singer/harpist/percussionist Myke Scavone (Ram Jam, The Doughboys), lead singer/guitarist John  Idan (who is on their 2003 CD “Birdland” album which features guest appearances from both Steve Vai  and Slash).

Since the Yardbirds’ birth from 1963 to 1968, and then its 2003 reformation, the group has been known  for its incredible guitarists. In addition to Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, plus rhythm  guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja have contributed to the band’s history.

Jim McCarty continues to lead this innovative British rock band that provides the crucial link between  British R&B, Psychedelic Rock, and Heavy Metal, while pioneering the use of innovations like fuzztone,  feedback and distortion. The drummer/singer/songwriter is responsible for its haunting sound.

The Yardbirds are exclusively represented TCI (Talent Consultants International) for booking concerts.  See below for upcoming concerts.

Goldmine Magazine stated, “the band’s hallmark of top-notch musicianship remains. There are no  passengers in this band.”
