Warwick VillageGraham Nash
Graham Nash brings a career-spanning performance to The Birchmere, tracing six decades of songs and stories. The show highlights music from his time with the Hollies, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, along with favorites from a long-running solo career. He is joined by Todd Caldwell on keyboards and by Adam Minkoff and Zack Djanikian, who rotate on bass, drums, guitar, and vocals. A two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, twice honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and a GRAMMY Award winner, Nash revisits signature pieces that helped define modern songwriting, including On a Carousel, Carrie Anne, Marrakesh Express, Lady of the Island, Teach Your Children, Our House, Chicago/We Can Change the World, Military Madness, Southbound Train, and Immigration Man. The set also touches on newer material from Now, his 2023 album. Recent coverage has described his concerts as immersive celebrations with enduring resonance, and praised the vitality he brings to the stage.
