Crosby, Stills & Nash In Concert At Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium July 10

Friday, June 29, 2012

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.”

This extensive U.S. summer tour, beginning in early June and continuing through the end of September, comes on the heels of their Australia/New Zealand and South American tours

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). 

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).  This Chattanooga concert is presented by AC Entertainment.

Tickets are available now at Memorial Auditorium box office, online at www.ChattanoogaOnStage.com, and by phone at 423 642-8497.  All seats are reserved from $49.50 to $80 with a limited number of VIP packages available at $180. VIP packages are available only at www.crosbystillsnash.com.  Auditorium box office hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

Scandals At Home And Abroad

Since my hip operation and time in recovery, I have tried to set aside things that are insignificant to me and to average Americans. Don't get me wrong here. What these people are doing (Bengahzi) is despicable be they left or right wing, and they have been doing it (both sides) for a long time. But the dirty deeds themselves carry little weight as to what they mean to you or me. ... (click for more)

Roy Exum: 50 Facts About Our Bodies

Maybe 20 years ago I became entranced by a book called “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.” It was co-authored by a surgeon, Paul Brand, and a Christian writer, Phillip Yancey, and gave one specific after another about the human body and how only God could have created such a miraculous machine. Today the book is a classic and I have marveled ever since over how unbelievable human ... (click for more)
