Southern Fried presents Graham Nash: An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories
>Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee - with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and with the Hollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, as a solo artist and with CSN, and is a Grammy winner.
>His remarkable body of work began with The Hollies from 1964-68, his contribution to the band included >Stop Stop Stop, Pay You Back With Interest>, >On A Carousel>, >Carrie Anne>, >King Midas In Reverse> and >Jennifer Eccles>.
>The original classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young) lasted only twenty months yet their songs are timeless lightning rods embedded in our DNA, many written by Nash - >Marrakesh Express>, >Pre-Road Downs> (written for then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell), >Lady Of the Island>, >Teach Your Children> and >Our House>.
>Overlapping CSNY, Nash’s solo career debuted with >Songs For Beginners> (1971), whose >Chicago/We Can Change the World> and >Military Madness> highlighting the powerful social conscience that has been a hallmark of his work throughout his career right up to his latest record, 2016’s >This Path Tonight>.
>Three early 70’s albums with David Crosby produced many more memorable songs including >Southbound Train> and >Immigration Man> before Nash wrote >Just A Song Before I Go>, a US top 10 hit from CSN’s 1977 reunion album and lightning struck once more on CSN’s >Daylight Again> (1982), on which Nash penned their final Top 10 hit, >Wasted On The Way>.
