CROSBY, STILLS & NASH ANNOUNCE EXTENSIVE U.S. SUMMER TOUR
Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) have announced an extensive U.S. summer tour, beginning early June and continuing through the end of September. The U.S. itinerary starts on June 7 at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia, PA, and concludes on the West Coast. CSN website members will have access to pre-sale tickets; various public on sales for the U.S. dates begin this week.
The CSN U.S. Summer Tour comes on the heels of their Australia/New Zealand and South American tours. Highlights this summer include The Wang Theater in Boston, MA (6/18), Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ (6/26-27), Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at Encore Park in Alpharetta, GA (7/14), Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN (7/27), Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX (8/14), Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO (8/21), the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA (9/7), and Humphrey's in San Diego, CA (9/29).
CSN will be donating $1 from each ticket sold on the U.S. Summer Tour to charity. In addition, special benefit seats will be available for purchase through The Guacamole Fund (www.guacfund.org). VIP packages are also available at www.crosbystillsnash.com.
The players accompanying Crosby, Stills & Nash on their 2012 tour are: Todd Caldwell (organ), Shane Fontayne (guitar), Steve DiStanislao (drums), Kevin McCormick (bass), and James Raymond (keyboards).
More than four decades since CSN first harmonized in Laurel Canyon, and played their first-ever concert as a trio at the legendary Woodstock festival, its members continue a creative partnership that is one of the most influential and enduring in music. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash have each been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two times-once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Hollies, respectively. They have also been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, with the honor recognizing both CSN as a group, and each member as individual solo artists.
CSN's music first became a cornerstone of rock 'n roll with the self-titled 1969 debut LP, one of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." Ever since-through changing times, various configurations, and acclaimed solo careers-Crosby, Stills & Nash have continued to tour and record as "three together."
