Crosby, Stills & Nash Announce U.S. Tour, Will Play Providence Performing Arts Center, 6/15

Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) announced an extensive U.S. summer tour today, beginning in early June and continuing through the end of September. The CSN U.S. Summer Tour stops in Providence at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) on Friday, June 15, 2012 at 8P.

Tickets for CSN go on sale on Friday, March 30, 2012 at 10A at the PPAC Box Office, online at www.ppacri.org and by phone at (401) 421-ARTS (2787). Tickets are $89-$59; all ticket prices include a $3 per ticket restoration charge. The PPAC Box Office is located at 220 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence.

CSN will be donating $1 from each ticket sold on the U.S. Summer Tour to charity. In addition, special benefit seats will be available for purchase through The Guacamole Fund (www.guacfund.org). VIP packages are also available at www.crosbystillsnash.com.

The Players accompanying CSN on their 2012 tour are:Todd Caldwell ( organ),Shane Fontayne (guitar), Steve DiStanislao (drums), Kevin McCormick (bass), and James Raymond (keyboards).

More than four decades since CSN first harmonized in Laurel Canyon, and played their first-ever concert as a trio at the legendary Woodstock festival, its members continue a creative partnership that is one of the most influential and enduring in music. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash have each been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two times—once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield,and The Hollies, respectively. They have also been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame,with the honor recognizing both CSN as a group, and each member as individual solo artists.

CSN’s music first became a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll with the self-titled 1969 debut LP, one of Rolling Stone’s“500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Ever since—through changing times, various configurations, and acclaimed solo careers—CSN have continued to tour and record as “three together.”
