Graham Nash was born in Blackpool, England, grew up in Salford just outside Manchester. He was a member of two highly successful groups—the Hollies, and Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Early in the 1960s, Nash co-founded the Hollies with Allan Clarke. The group wrote their own songs and Nash, along with Clark and guitarist Tony Hicks, formed their own publishing company, Gralto Music Ltd., to handle their music. They signed a young musician named Reg Dwight, who played on the records the Hollies made in 1969 and 1970. Dwight is better known as Elton John.
It was while he was on a tour of the United States with the Hollies that he met Stephen Stills and David Crosby. Shortly after, he left the Hollies to form Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1966, and in 1969, Neil Young joined to make the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Nash wrote many of the songs that were hits for the group, including “Marrakesh Express.” Nash’s membership in this group got him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, for each iteration of the band.
A review says Nash is:
“ . . . a gifted singer whose voice hasn't aged a day since his Crosby, Stills, and Nash days.”
Graham Nash will visit Asbury Hall at Babeville in Buffalo on May 8. When performances like this are scheduled, organizers can advertise them by using poster printing.
