getting back on the road with my band,” says Don McLean. “2022
marks the 50th anniversary from when American Pie landed at the #1

Don McLean is a Grammy award honoree, a Songwriter Hall of Fame
member, a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and his smash
hit “American Pie” resides in the Library of Congress National
Recording Registry and was named a top 5 song of the 20th Century
by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA). A New York native, Don
McLean is one of the most revered and respected songwriters in
American history. After paying his dues in the New York club scene in

Night),” “Castles in the Air” and many more. His catalog of songs has
been recorded by Madonna, Garth Brooks, Josh Groban, Drake, “Weird
Al” Yankovic, and countless others. In 2015, McLean’s handwritten
manuscript of the lyrics to “American Pie” was auctioned by Christies,
selling for just over $1.2 Million. 2019 honored Don with a star on the
Las Vegas Walkway of Stars and his song “And I Love You So” was the
theme for Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s wedding. Don landed a
new recording contract with Time Life in 2020, with whom he released
a catalog of recordings as well as a new album ‘Still Playin’ Favorites’.
2021 brought Don’s “American Pie” features in the Avengers’ Black
Widow and the new Tom Hanks movie Finch. Don received a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrated the 50th anniversary of
“American Pie,” recorded a version of the song with a cappella group
