An Evening with Graham Nash This Fall at MPAC

Legendary singer-songwriter Graham Nash comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 8 pm. Tickets are $39 - $79.

Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee--with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and with The Hollies. Nash performs classic hits such as "Teach Your Children," "Our House" and "Just a Song Before I Go," and songs from his new studio album, The Path Tonight.

Nash's passionate voice continues to be heard in support of peace, and social and environmental justice. The No Nukes/Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts he organized with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt in 1979 remain seminal benefit events. In 2011, Nash was instrumental in bringing MUSE back to the forefront with a concert to benefit Japan disaster relief and groups promoting non-nuclear energy worldwide.

In September 2013, Nash released his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales, which delivers an engrossing, no-holds-barred look back at his remarkable career and the music that defined a generation. The book landed him on the New York Times Best Sellers list, and was released in paperback format in late 2014.

In recognition for his contributions as a musician and philanthropist, Nash was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth. While continually building his musical legacy, Nash is also an internationally renowned photographer and visual artist. With his photography, Nash has drawn honors including the New York Institute of Technology's Arts & Technology Medal and Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters and the Hollywood Film Festival's inaugural Hollywood Visionary Cyber Award. His work is collected in the book Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash; he curated others' work in the volume Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock 'n' Roll Photographs Selected by Graham Nash (2009).

Nash's work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide. His company Nash Editions' original IRIS 3047 digital printer and one of its first published works-Nash's 1969 portrait of David Crosby- is now housed in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in recognition of his revolutionary accomplishments in the fine arts and digital printing world.

His new studio album This Path Tonight was released April 15, 2016 to rave reviews.
