Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Kevin Winter, Getty Images On Saturday, April 13, Crosby, Stills and Nash performed a rare small-theater show (their only Los Angeles-area concert this year) at Club Nokia. The performance was part of Light Up The Blues, a benefit for Autism Speaks, one of the world's leading autism science and advocacy organizations. The evening featured many other artists as well and raised over $250,000 for the organization.

Jaws dropped, knees quaked and eyes twinkled. That was the reaction, when it was announced David Crosby from the Byrds, Stephen Stills from Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash from the Hollies had formed a band together. Imagine all that talent under one roof, and as expected the guys delivered the goods above and beyond the call of duty. Spring 1969 [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-08T04:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4877492/monday-music-matinee-4-hotel-california/
LA from The Byrds to The Eagles This is a great BBC documentary that makes a nice companion piece for our Southern California series from last year. Here is what the BBC website has to say about it.... Documentary looking at the music and mythology of a golden era in Californian culture, and telling the story of how Los Angeles changed from a kooky backwater in the early 1960s to become the artistic and industrial hub of the American music industry by the end of the 1970s. Alongside extensive and never before [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-24T13:27:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4849277/30-days-out-interview-oisin-leech-of-the-lost-brothers/
Mark McCausland, left, and Oisin Leech of The Lost Brothers. Among all the new friends we made at South by Southwest (SXSW) this year, we really like The Lost Brothers. The "Losties" are a duo from Ireland who sing in close harmony, reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel or the Everly Brothers. Mark McCausland and Oisin Leech met in an dusty old Liverpool library in 2007. Comparing influences, they discovered they both played in various bands and had traveled to Liverpool to take their music to the next level. The pair shared a love of [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-21T02:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4800801/response-songs-4-a-blinding-insight/
I have made several posts over the past year about response songs. All of these posts were based on things that I read. This week I had a moment of blinding insight when I discovered a potential response song myself. Here is my story....... On Tuesday I was listening to Joni Mitchell's 1968 debut album, Song to a Seagull, that was produced by David Crosby. The first track of the album, I Had a King, came on and it was like I was hearing it for the first time. As I listened to the lyrics I was [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-21T06:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4731190/a-list-obligatory-songs-for-letting-go/
This year I'm getting ahead of Valentine's Day and sending one out to the brokenhearted. Well, it's almost that dreadful time of year again. Like we don't already feel bad enough the rest of the time, Valentine's Day just seems like cruel punishment for the chronically lonely. You can't even go out [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-24T16:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4525395/shows-of-interest-september-24-30-2012/

During their peak in the late 1970s, there may not have been a bigger band than Fleetwood Mac , who were arguably as famous for their musical output, as they were for their in-band relationships. On August 14, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame act's tunes will be the subject of the new tribute album - Just Tell Me That You Want Me - that will be released via Hear Music/Concord. The 17-track release features an impressive and diverse array of indie-rock bands tackling material almost exclusively from the band's Buckingham/Nicks years, with a [...]]]> text/html 2012-05-08T10:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4251547/is-death-more-likely-to-come-in-groups-of-three/
I'd like to say tomorrow that today the subject was roses, but once again, it's death. Today's sub-topic: Does it really come in threes? I'm not talking about famous people dying in groups of three. I've never seen any consistent, compelling evidence to support this theory/urban myth. I'm talking about threesomes. What is it about them? If one is the loneliest number and two's company, is three totally unlucky? Consider musical trios, like Beastie Boys. Too often, it seems, one member gets taken from us way to soon. The latest example of the law [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-21T21:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4148138/after-years-of-turmoil-reunited-crosby-still-and-nash-now/
Even as Crosby Stills and Nash, together off and on since 1969, gear up for yet another massive summer U.S. tour, there remains an electric atmosphere when those three voices intertwine. "When we get together and that first harmony hits," Stills says, "I think: 'Oh, good, Ive got a job.'" He'll join David Crosby and Graham Nash on tour through [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T18:31:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4032552/teach-your-children-well-graham-nash-turns-70/
There are artists who exist, it seems, only to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Some of them are sidemen. Others are loyal musicians. But, it is rare to find a gifted songwriter an...

Coming on the heels of the Sweet Baby James reissue by Audio Fidelity, the outfit that releases limited edition remastered versions of classic rock albums, is the widely celebrated debut album by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Going back about a year earlier than Taylor's breakthrough record, Crosby, Stills & Nash also signaled a shift away from the harsher, heavier sound [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-15T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3931924/bloggy-goodness-black-keys-say-no-to-streaming/
For those of you that were hoping to stream The Black Keys new album El Camino via sites such as Spotify, MOG, Rdio and the like, may have been taken by surprise when the blues-rock act's record was nowhere to found. Well, it turns out that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney had a very legit reason for not allowing it to be streamed, as Carney gave this explanation to VH1 - "We decided for this album to not allow music services to stream the entire album, because it's becoming more popular, but [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-15T06:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3931583/music-review-crosby-stills-and-nash-crosby-stills/

Two strong voices of protest from the Vietnam Era came down to New York City's Zuccotti Park this afternoon to lend support to the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Graham Nash and David Crosby wound up performing five songs without microphones in the crowded park, namely Long Time Gone, Military Madness, What Are Their Names, They Want It All and Teach Your Children. Nash and Crosby spoke with Rolling Stone about the reasons behind their visit: HT's Jeremy Gordon was on hand and captured the [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-04T18:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3839489/graham-nash-chicago-disco-tech-edit/
