Don McLean is a Grammy Award honoree, a Songwriter Hall of Fame member, and a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. His smash hit “American Pie” resides in the Library of Congress National Recording Registry and was named a “Top 5 Song of the 20^th Century” by the Recording Industry of America. A New York native, Don McLean is one of America’s most revered and respected songwriters. After paying his dues in the New York club scene in the late 1960s, he went on to score mega-hits like “Vincent (Starry, Starry Night),” “Castles in the Air,” and many more.

The Sun Chronicle called Don McLean “one of America’s most enduring singer-songwriters.”
