Crosby, Stills and Nash Return to Hard Rock Live

Legendary classic rock trio Crosby, Stills and Nash returns to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Friday, October 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 23 at noon.

The music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash is a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll.  As Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), this trio of legendary singer-songwriters has been actively collaborating since 1969. The connection they forged from day one – as artists and as friends – was profound and unbreakable. Essential elements of our pop culture experience, their songs are just as durable, conveying emotional truths and social consciousness in equal measure.

The fact that each principal came from another hugely successful band – The Byrds (Crosby), Buffalo Springfield (Stills) and The Hollies (Nash) – caused CSN to be known as the world’s first “supergroup.” The threesome more than lived up to the term with their debut LP, a ten-song tour de force that hit #6 on Billboard’s pop albums chart, earned CSN a Grammy for Best New Artist and delivered classic tracks including “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” “Marrakesh Express,” “Guinnevere” and “Wooden Ships.” The disc was named one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” by Rolling Stone.

1970’s Déjà Vu came next, the first album from the group’s four-man configuration with Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSN&Y). Another notch on the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, Déjà Vu was a #1 LP that introduced timeless hits including “Teach Your Children,” “Our House,” “Helpless,” “Carry On” and “Almost Cut My Hair.” 4 Way Street, a double live LP, followed in 1971, showcasing CSN&Y’s live mojo on a set of songs as personal as it was political. Its success further built their reputation as the only American band of the original Woodstock era to have a societal impact rivaling that of the Beatles.

CSN survived the turbulent times in which they existed as well as the often volatile climate of their own inner-workings to continue to make music that connected with fans across America and around the world. So Far, the group’s 1974 retrospective-to-date, topped the charts at #1 in Billboard. The 1977 studio album CSN climbed to #2 and delivered their first multiplatinum single (and, at #7, their all-time highest charting track), “Just A Song Before I Go.” Daylight Again (1982) added two more hits to the CSN songbook with “Southern Cross” and “Wasted On The Way.”  Highlights from the also-ongoing CSN&Y partnership include the 1999 Top 40 album Looking Forward.

Their latest collaboration is a single-disc collection of rare and previously unheard demos, appropriately entitled Demos, of destined-to-be-classic signature songs reaching back to the group’s earliest days.

The group’s 2010 tour follows up a 12-month period marked by high profile performances and projects.  Earlier this year, CSN musically saluted Neil Young-their longtime partner in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young-at NARAS’ Person of the Year gala that kicked off 2010 GRAMMY® week. In October 2009, CSN played at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts at Madison Square Garden.  CSN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and each member also has the remarkable distinction of being inducted a second time as part of another legendary group: David Crosby for The Byrds, Stephen Stills with Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash for The Hollies. Last year also marked the induction of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.
