Legendary artist 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 he is a GRAMMY Award winner.
Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash
has accomplished in his first seventy-five years on this planet, stands the
litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the
past half-century. His remarkable body of work, beginning with his
contributions to the Hollies opus from 1964 to ’68, including “Stop Stop Stop,”
“Pay You Back With Interest,” “On A Carousel,” “Carrie Anne,” “King Midas In
Reverse,” and “Jennifer Eccles,” continues all the way to This Path Tonight
(2016), his most recent solo album.
The original classic union of Crosby, Stills &
Nash (& Young) lasted but twenty months. Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express,” “Pre-Road Downs” (written for then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell), and “Lady Of the Island,” from the first Crosby, Stills &
Nash LP (1969). On CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970), Nash’s “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” beseeched us to hold love tightly, to fend off the madness that was on its way.
Overlapping CSNY, Nash’s solo career debuted with Songs
For Beginners (1971), whose “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military
Madness” were fueled by the Long Hot Summer, the trial of the Chicago Eight,
and the ongoing Vietnam war. Songs from that LP stayed in Nash’s concert sets for years including “I Used To Be A King” and “Simple Man”. His next album, Wild
Tales (1974), addressed (among other issues) unfair jail terms for minor
drug offenses (“Prison Song”), unfair treatment of Vietnam vets (“Oh! Camil”),
the unfairness of fame (“You’ll Never Be the Same”), and his muse, Joni
(“Another Sleep Song”).
The most resilient, long-lived and productive
partnership to emerge from the CSNY camp launched with the eponymously titled Graham
Nash/David Crosby (1972), bookended by Nash’s “Southbound Train” as the
opening track and “Immigration Man” as the closer. The duo contributed further to the soundtrack of the ’70s on their back-to-back albums, Wind On the Water (1975) and Whistling Down the Wire (1976).
On the CSN reunion studio LP (1977), Nash took
top honors with “Just A Song Before I Go” (written in the space of one hour,
and a Top 10 hit single). Lightning
struck once more on CSN’s Daylight Again (1982), on which Nash penned
their second (and final) Top 10 hit, “Wasted On the Way,” lamenting the energy,
time and love lost by the group due to years of internecine quarrels.
Nash’s passionate voice continues to be heard in support of peace, and social and environmental justice. The No Nukes/Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts he organized with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt in 1979 remain seminal benefit events. In 2011, Nash was instrumental in bringing MUSE back to the forefront with a concert to benefit Japan disaster relief and groups promoting non-nuclear energy worldwide. That same year, he and Crosby were among the many musicians who made their way to the Occupy Wall Street
actions in lower Manhattan.
In September 2013, Nash released his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales, which
delivers an engrossing, no-holds-barred look back at his remarkable career and
the music that defined a generation. The book landed him on the New York Times
Best Sellers list, and was released in paperback in late 2014.
In recognition for his contributions as a musician and
philanthropist, Nash was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British
Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth. While continually building his musical legacy,
Nash is also an internationally renowned photographer and visual artist. With
his photography, Nash has drawn honors including the New York Institute of
Technology’s Arts & Technology Medal and Honorary Doctorate of Humane
Letters and the Hollywood Film Festival’s inaugural Hollywood Visionary Cyber
Award. His work is collected in the book Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash;
he curated others’ work in the volume Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock ‘n’ Roll Photographs Selected by Graham Nash (2009).
Nash’s work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide. His company Nash Editions’ original IRIS 3047 digital printer and one of its first published works—Nash’s 1969 portrait of David Crosby— is now housed in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian
Institution in recognition of his revolutionary accomplishments in the fine
arts and digital printing world.

Mr. Tambourine Man not only lived history, he made history with his fearless sense of experimentation. As the leader of the influential 60s group, The Byrds, he was on the leading edge, combining the rock beat of the Beatles with the folk sensibilities of Bob Dylan, to create the genre known as “folk-rock.” Roger’s solo career began in 1973 and has yielded 10 albums, a Grammy nomination, and extensive touring and performing for enthralled audiences ever since.
Tennessee Williams’ twentieth century masterpiece Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
played a strictly limited season in London’s West End in 2017. Following his smash hit production of A Streetcar Named Desire,

On a steamy night in Mississippi, a Southern family gather at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The scorching heat is almost as oppressive as the lies they tell. Brick and Maggie dance round the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to destroy their marriage. With the future of the family at stake, which version of the truth is real – and which will win out?

“Miller and O’Connell get to a raw and naked truth”

Fisher, and the grand dame of southern cooking Edna Lewis, with a focus on issues surrounding women and food such as body image, eating disorders, and global hunger. The result is a hilarious, flour-dusted, stage conversation meant to dissolve fears of food and encourage freedom of the fork.
