Cosby Stills & Nash Coming To The Pearl! Get Your Tix For 9/27!

Crosby Stills & Nash will perform career-spanning favorites, as well as new songs during the summer 2014 tour which includes a stop at The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort  on Sept. 27, 2014 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $59, plus any additional service fees.

On the heels of their sold out March 2014 tour, Crosby, Stills & Nash announced additional U.S. summer tour dates. The group will perform songs from their extensive catalogue, as well as new material from each member. Once again, CSN will be accompanied by its backing band featuring: Shane Fontayne (guitar), Steve DiStanislao (drums), Kevin McCormick (bass), James Raymond (keyboards) and Todd Caldwell (organ).

David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash unite as “three together” for the Summer 2014 dates amid a full slate of side and solo projects:

David Crosby undertakes a sold out solo tour in the U.S. in April in support of CROZ, his first solo release in 20 years, five sold out shows at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, and two sold out shows at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. CROZ was released January 28 on Blue Castle Records, the label Crosby and Nash founded in 2011, and debuted at No. 36 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Stephen Stills just announced a 17-date solo tour and he recently toured solo and with The Rides, his blues-rock trio with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg. The Rides’ album Can’t Get Enough was released last summer. Carry On, a four-CD box chronicling Stills’ career—produced by Nash and Joel Bernstein—also came out in 2013.

Graham Nash recently wrapped a solo tour—followed by an ongoing book tour for his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life, published in September by Crown Publishing Group. He will perform two solo shows at the brand new City Winery in Napa, CA in April. Nash also exhibited his artwork and photography throughout 2013.

This summer, CSN will be donating $1 per ticket sold, to charity. Details and complete tour schedule are available at www.crosbystillsnash.com.  Special benefit seats are available through www.guacfund.org.

More than four decades since CSN first harmonized in Laurel Canyon, and played its first-ever concert as a trio at the legendary Woodstock festival, and 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—with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies, respectively. They are also in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, honored both for CSN as a group, and as individual solo artists.

Doors at the Pearl will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. The Pearl Box Office is open daily from noon until 7 p.m. with extended hours on select event days. Follow The Pearl on Twitter at @PearlatPalms for concert announcements and event information.

Using the 12th anniversary as his influence, Jacob Gallegos will open a show of works on paper, curated by First Friday, of the 12 most influential people in the Las Vegas arts community at Arts Square’s Garden. During a round of interviews with his subjects, Gallegos shot photos of his subjects as they spoke about their work, their passion, and what makes the Downtown Arts Scene so special. Born in Wyoming but raised in Las Vegas, Gallegos has developed his artistic style to reflect both his unique personality as well the diverse collection of styles practiced by those who have inspired him over the years. This has led to a unique style all his own, shown in various mediums from watercolor and oil paint to pen sketches and collages. His artistic approach is comparable to the performance art of Andy Kaufman and Iggy Pop coupled with the artwork of Conrad Roset and Farel Dalrymple.

Celebrating its 12th anniversary with “Time, Mythology and 12” on Friday, Oct. 3. First Friday Las Vegas turns to the representation of the number 12 to serve as inspiration for the event.   From hours on a clock, months in a year, signs in the Zodiac; 12 is the number that dictates the rhythm of life.  12 represents that which is completed, that which forms a whole and that which embodies a perfect and harmonious unit, it is the symbol of the closing and of a circle and new beginnings. 12 is the number of years First Friday Las Vegas has been bringing enchantment to the Las Vegas community.

First Friday Las Vegas will continue the popular Arts Row, featuring works of emerging Las Vegas artists, arts and crafts vendors in The Bazaar and live music in The Hub, running down Casino Center from Colorado to Charleston, in the heart of the Arts District.

The popular Green Street on California Avenue, between Main Street and Casino Center Drive, is set to transform into Pure Green Place.  First Friday has always been committed to reducing its carbon footprint and through Pure Green Place will educate and foster action within the community by showcasing alternate methods of transportation, renewable energy and sustainable products.  First Friday organizers continue to make the Kids Zone more interactive and appealing to the young art aficionados while the Think Safe Zone continues with a focus on local charitable organizations, community action and involvement and safety tips for Las Vegans.
