Graham Nash in Concert
Graham Nash's long and tuneful career includes his singing with the Hollies' bright British folk-pop, the tightly harmonized classic folk-rock of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young), and his own deeply personal singer-songwriter albums.
Born in 1942 in war-scarred northern England, Nash was always on a high, at least vocally. He began singing airy tenor harmonies as a teenager alongside school friend Allan Clarke, and the pair co-founded the Hollies ? named after Texas rocker Buddy Holly ? in 1962. Nash-Clarke creations such as "On a Carousel," "Bus Stop," and "Jennifer Eccles" are just a few of the Merseybeat combo's more than 30 charting singles.
Following a life-changing evening of music at soon-to-be-girlfriend Joni Mitchell's Hollywood Hills home in 1968, Nash left everything behind to cast his fate with former Byrds member David Crosby and former Buffalo Springfield member Stephen Stills as Crosby, Stills & Nash. Nash's "Marrakesh Express" and "Lady of the Island," an ode to Mitchell, made the supergroup's 1969 debut album an American folk-rock classic.
The trio wouldn't record another album until 1977's CSN. Nash found a creative outlet in the luminous Songs for Beginners, the first of several solo albums, and Graham Nash David Crosby, which launched the duo's productive longtime partnership onstage and in the studio.
Nash is both a romantic and an activist. His ravishing love songs are counterbalanced by politically engaged material like "Military Madness," "Chicago," "Barrel of Pain," "Soldiers of Peace," and "Immigration Man."
A photo collector since the early 1970s, Nash auctioned off more than 2,000 prints through Sotheby's in 1990 for $2.4 million, a record amount for a single collection of photographs. "Recycling is fun," Nash commented as iconic images by Diane Arbus and Ansel Adams found new owners.
Inspired by a major life change, the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee released This Path Tonight, his first solo album in 14 years, in 2016. In 2018, he released Over the Years, a career-spanning anthology. He's back on the road again and singing better than ever.
"I want my audience to know two things," Nash told Songwriting. "One, I want to be there for them... And the second thing I want is to see them smiling on the way out. That's when I know that I've done my job as a musician."
Great show both of them did a fantastic job performing and making us laugh
Amazing, played the classics. Judy Collins sounds great & so funny. The 2 young musicians were some of the most talented I’ve ever seen
Graham Nash was outstanding! His voice sounded great and it was just like I was back in 60’s and 70’s. Same with Judy Collins. Both sang great and told interesting and funny stories. I would go back and see them again!
Great set list and special guest. Judy Collins was hilarious ,a pleasant surprise . Never saw her before.
Graham has written so many great songs and his partnership with David Crosby and Stephen Stills has given him and amazing playbook for his concerts. I particularly loved his song "I used to be a king"which was better live than any recording I have heard. Graham had the energy of a 60 year old and band played several encores and the crowd loved it. He is also a great story teller and we could have stayed all night. His band was also fabulous and the musicians are very talented. The electric guitar playing was in perfect synch with what Graham was doing. The singing was also excellent and the harmony was as good as the times I have seen CSN. Finally the Bosch theatre in Boston was a great place to see Graham Nash. It is an old time theatre with great acoustics. It is intimate and yet big enough to hold a decent crowd. The people were also very respectful and did not stand up all night long blocking the view for everyone. I have walked out of some major concerts because of this. This was one of the best concert experiences of my life and I am very glad to have spent a night with Graham Nash before he and others eventually join David Crosby.
Great Concert! Judy Collins at 85 years old was amazing! Graham Nash and the band gave us a fantastic time. However, the concert at the Cabot Theater last year in Beverly, MA was a warmer and more intimate experience. Smaller venues bring out the best in musicians. Ticketmaster was a terrible experience, with high charges when buying tickets.
My ticket was a gift from my sis and brother in law. We went together, and I'm so very grateful. I enjoyed the show even more than anticipated! Graham Nash alone would have been a treat, but the musicians with him were really sublime - both in their instrumental skills (I've never seen anyone play a bass guitar while playing drums) and in their vocal harmonies. Thank you Graham Nash for continuing to share your meaningful music and thanks to Kalamazoo State Theater for continuing to host such amazing artists year after year!
The band was wonderful. Singing along was fun. Graham's stories wove it all together.
The show's description said there would be stories and music. I assumed at the age of 82 Mr. Nash would reminisce more than he played. That wasn't the case. He gave a brief and super interesting story of how each of the tunes came to be then played the tune. He covered a few tunes from the Hollies but, of course, mostly from CSN&Y. Took a couple of tunes for his voice to warm up but man, the guy can still sing. Amazing! His band included 3 other guys. One was on keys and the other 2 bounced around between guitars, drums, bass and saxophone. They also provided the harmonies on many of the tunes that really brought those tunes into CSN&Y territory. They finished with 3 encores and a standing ovation. I'll remember this show until I'm 82....hopefully.
Fun night with Graham Nash. We loved all the stories of his friends and experiences.
