Rock pioneer to play in Cincinnati
An artist with a career spanning 60 years will appear in Cincinnati.
Richie Furay is one of the founding members of the rock band Buffalo Springfield, which formed in 1966 in Los Angeles. They are recognized as being vital to the inception of the country rock movement. He also co-founded the band Poco, as well as the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. In all three groups, he helped advance the country rock sound.
Furay is a native of Yellow Springs, Ohio, and became interested in music early in his life, thanks to his father, who enjoyed listening to country radio. The young man appreciated the blend of blues, country, and the just-developing rock scene and became part of it. He learned to play guitar when he was eight, and started his career singing in college clubs. It was at this time he met Stephen Sills, and co-founded Buffalo Springfield with him and Neil Young, Dewey Martin, and Bruce Palmer.
In 1968, he co-founded Poco along with George Grantham, Randy Meisner, Rusty Young, and Jim Messina. His work with this and the other groups established his contributions to the country rock genre. Furay explained:
Richie Furay will be at the Ludlow Garage on January 24. This type of event benefits from the support of advertisements made using poster printing.

“I have always loved country music, and the idea of putting it together with rock & roll with a steel guitar seemed natural from the start.”
