Nash and friends will perform songs from his days in the Hollies through his years with Crosby, Stills & Nash and from his beloved solo recordings, weaving anecdotes and tales from his 50-year career throughout the evening.
Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash has accomplished in his long and multi-faceted career stands the litany of songs he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the past half-century. His remarkable body of work, beginning with his contributions to the Hollies opus, including “Stop Stop Stop” and “Carrie Anne”, his signature CSN (&Y) offerings like “Teach Your Children”, “Our House” and “Marrakesh Express” and his solo standouts “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military Madness”.
Amongst glowing reviews for his recent tour dates, Classic Rock said “A magical evening celebrating the work of a talented musician and of music that helped define a generation” the Daily Mail concluded “Witty and warm, it’s a Nash hit” and No Depression proclaimed “Nash walked the audience through his catalogue, a rich tapestry of music spanning more than five decades, accompanied by Shane Fontayne on guitar and vocals. The strength of the material and the resilience in Nash’s voice made for a wonderful evening. And, as the crowd soon discovered, the new songs were every bit as vital as the classic anthems they came to hear.”
Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and two-time Songwriter Hall of Fame Inductee, Grammy Award winner, a New York Times best-selling author, and Officer of the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.)
