Crosby & Nash: West Coast Tour

TOUR STARTS MARCH 25 IN LONG BEACH, CA;
NEW LIVE ALBUM SET FOR MARCH
22


Crosby and Nash

Singer-songwriters David
Crosby
and Graham
Nash
will launch a spring tour in the U.S. with a March 25 show in, Long Beach, CA. While Crosby and
Nash’s legendary vocal harmonies will be the centerpiece of the show, they will be accompanied on the road by an
ace-backing band featuring James Raymond (keyboards), Dean Parks (guitar), Kevin
McCormick
(bass), and Steve DiStanislao (drums). The tour will mix acoustic and plugged-in performances. The initial on-sale date for tickets is January
21.

“Touring with a full band gives us the opportunity to do
selections from our catalogue that Graham and I haven’t performed live together before,” says Crosby. “We will also
be introducing some brand new songs we’ve written, that have never been heard onstage or on record.”

Crosby and Nash are also launching their own record label, Blue Castle Records, with the first-ever digital and vinyl
editions of the live album Another Stoney Evening, recorded forty years ago, in 1971 at the Dorothy
Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. The release date is set for March 22, and the album can be pre-ordered when
tickets for the tour go on sale.
