Graham Nash on tour

Win double pass to see legendary Graham Nash

-

There’s a Red Letter Day on the horizon as legendary artist Graham Nash, a founding member of both The Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash and a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee launches his first solo headline tour of New Zealand with a performanc­e on March 1 in Auckland at the iconic Civic Theatre.

Performing songs from across his 60 year career, Nash will be joined on stage by his long-time musical partners, Shane Fontayne (guitar and vocals) and Todd Caldwell (keyboards and vocals).

The good news gets even better in that we are offering you the chance to win a double pass to the Auckland show to witness the magic in person.

Nash’s recent touring in 2023 included sold-out tours in the US and the UK and has had critics raving about his performanc­es.

“Nash reached into a treasure chest of originals, collaborat­ions, and covers that resonated with everyone… most of the lyrics were so well crafted that their messages have long been an important part of so many people’s lives for so many years…Nash truly does speak from a passionate heart. His inner voice is true, his songs and lyrics are authentic, and he is sincere.” —

Finger Lakes Times.

Nash released his most recent album Now in May 2023 to four-star reviews and critical acclaim. The New York Times said,“… Now feels remarkably content as if Nash has slipped into a favourite old overcoat to find a cache of new tunes stuffed inside a pocket.”

Look out for A Better Life from that album. It’s been making the cut in recent shows and has been rapturousl­y received as a beautiful song with an inspiratio­nal message.

Get ready to hear songs that have been the soundtrack of our lives for the past 60 years. Timeless songs such as Bus Stop, Teach Your Children, Our House, Marrakesh Express, Cathedral, Military Madness, Wasted On The Way, Just A Song Before I Go and Love The One You’re With to name but a few of the great tunes from his diverse catalogue across all of his various incarnatio­ns.

There’s an old saying in the entertainm­ent game: “A good name will get you on stage but only a good show will keep you there.”

Graham Nash – after delivering in spades for 60 years is the quintessen­tial embodiment of that adage – why would you want to be anywhere else?
