Crosby, Stills And Nash To Perform At Moody Theatre

Updated: Thursday, April 19 2012, 06:36 AM CDT
The music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash has become a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll.  The trio of legendary singers and songwriters comes to Austin on August 18, for a one-night concert event at Moody Theatre.
   
As Crosby, Stills and Nash, the musicians have been actively collaborating since 1969, when they first harmonized in either Joni Mitchell's living room or Mama Cass Elliot's dining room, depending on which member you ask.  Crosby and Nash ascribe to the former, while Stills is adamant about the latter.
    
Wherever its point of origin, the connection they forged as artists and as friends was profound and unbreakable.  Essential elements of our pop culture experience, their songs convey emotional truths and social consciousness in equal measure.
     
Each of the musicians came together from another hugely-successful band, causing Crosby, Stills and Nash to be known as the world's first "supergroup."  Their 1969 debut LP - a 10-song tour de force that hit Number Six on Billboard's Pop Aalbums chart - earned them a Grammy Award for "Best New Artist" and delivered classic tracks including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere" and "Wooden Ships."  The album was also named one of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" by Rolling Stone Magazine.
    
Tickets for the Austin concert will go on sale this Friday, April 20 at 10 a.m.  Tickets will be available in person at Waterloo Records, by phone at 877-4-FLYTIX and online at www.acl-live.com.
