About Crosby, Stills & Nash

Before coming together as a band, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and David Crosby played in Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies, and The Byrds, respectively. ∙ Crosby and Stills cut demos together as The Frozen Noses, including “Long Time Gone,” prior to Nash joining their ranks. ∙ The Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian suggested to Crosby and Stills that Nash might be an ideal vocal collaborator, due to his higher vocal timbre. ∙ Nash wrote “Teach Your Children” while still a member of The Hollies, after being inspired by Diane Arbus’ 1962 photograph Child With Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park. ∙ During the period when he was living on his 74-foot sailboat after being kicked out of The Byrds, Crosby cowrote “Wooden Ships” with Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner. ∙ Acclaimed for their unique harmonies and arrangements, the trio won the 1969 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. ∙ Their self-titled debut has been certified quadruple-Platinum and is considered one of the most influential folk-rock albums of all time. ∙ Crosby, Stills & Nash were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
