An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories with Graham Nash

The original classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young) lasted but 20 months, yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express,” “Pre-Road Downs,” and “Lady Of the Island,” from the first Crosby, Stills & Nash LP (1969). On CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970), Nash’s “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” beseeched us to hold love tightly, to fend off the madness that was on its way. Tickets start at $49.22
