8-21-18 David Crosby Joins Weinberg Media Contact: Don Wehner, Upfront Inc 410-486-6291 | [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE David Crosby Lighthouse Band Tour Joins the Weinberg Center 2018-19 Season Lineup FREDERICK, MD, Tuesday August 21th, 2018 — Coming to the Weinberg Center for the Arts and presented by Upfront Inc., David Crosby backed by the Lighthouse Band, Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $75, $55 and $45. Tickets are available to Weinberg Center members starting Tuesday August 21st at 10:00 AM. Tickets will become available to the general public Tuesday August 28th at 10:00 AM. Tickets may be purchased online at WeinbergCenter.org, by calling the Box Office at 301-600-2828, or in person at 20 West Patrick St. Crosby, who turned 77 this month, has experienced a late career resurgence unlike almost any other in the history of rock & roll. Last year, Crosby released the acclaimed Sky Trails (BMG), his third solo album in four years, which won raves from a wide variety of outlets including NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Spin, USA Today, The Ringer, New York Magazine, the Associated Press and more. Stevens, League and Willis backed Crosby on his tour in support of 2016’s acclaimed Lighthouse album, and BrooklynVegan said of the quartet’s NYC show at Town Hall, “they also clearly help him sound great. Crosby’s voice has aged wonderfully, but you’d have to assume the younger singers’ harmonies are part of what made everything sound so rich last night.” The “Lighthouse Band” also recorded a NPR World Café session during that tour, of which World Café’s David Dye said “I have no doubt that, by the end of the year, we'll count this among the very best sessions of 2017.” In his eighth decade, Crosby is not only surviving, but also thriving personally and creatively. As Uproxx said in a feature last year, "you don’t find too many artists out there on the other side of 75 still plugging away and making new music. Practically no one of that age is laying down some of the best material of their careers. Then again, David Crosby isn’t like most other artists." This fall, Crosby will release a new album on BMG, a collaboration with his “Lighthouse Band” of Stevens, League and Willis. This will be Crosby’s fourth solo album in five years. More details to come. A complete listing of artists and performers scheduled for the 2018-2019 season can be found at WeinbergCenter.org.

  • DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (Biography)
    DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (biography) ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME MEMBER CHRIS HILLMAN AND THE DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC TO PERFORM IN A RARE APPEARANCE Joining Chris Hillman in this acoustic appearance are John Jorgenson on guitar/mandolin, Herb Pedersen on guitar and Bill Bryson on bass. Chris Hillman was one of the original members of The Byrds, which also included Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. The Byrds were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. After his departure from the Byrds, Hillman, along with collaborator Gram Parsons, was a key figure in the development of country-rock. Hillman virtually defined the genre through his seminal work with the Byrds and later bands, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas with Steven Stills. In addition to his work as a musician, Hillman is also a successful songwriter and his songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as; Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, The Oak Ridge Boys, Beck, Steve Earl, Peter Yorn,Tom Petty, and Dwight Yoakam. In the 1980s Chris formed The Desert Rose Band which became one of country music’s most successful acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s, earning numerous ‘Top 10’ and ‘Number 1’ hits. The band’s success lead to three Country Music Association Awards, and two Grammy nominations. Although the Desert Rose Band disbanded in the early 1990s, they performed a reunion concert in 2008 and have since played a few shows together in select venues. Herb Pedersen began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 1960′s playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with artists such as Jerry Garcia, The Dillards, Old and in the Way, David Grisman and David Nelson.

PERFORMERS The Byrds BY BUD S C O P P A I I WAS DYLAN MEETS THE BEATLES.” That’s Roger McGuinn’s succinct explanation of the Byrds’ bold, brainy take on rock & roll. True enough: What the Byrds pulled off with 1965’s landmark Mr. Tambourine Man Was a resonant synthesis of the Beatles’ charged pro forma precision and Dylan’s mytho- poeic incantations. It turned out to be a startlingly perfect fit, inspiring much that has followed, from their mentors’ subsequent Rubber Soul and Blonde On Blonde to the work of such disparate inheritors as Tom Petty, R.E.M., U2, and Crowded House. Mr. Tambourine Man was the first rock & roll album with group vocals, sounded both totally fresh and strangely in­ a message, the first made up entirely of anthems, the first to evitable, as did the shimmering Bo Diddley groove of “Don’t render sound and meaning inseparable, Byrds music was Doubt Yourself, Babe” and the eerie atmospherics of “Here such a departure that it got its own name— “folk-rock”-^ Without You.” But the linchpin of the album was its triumvi­ making the Byrds the first hybrid band.

David Crosby was a sweet-voiced member of the legendary rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. David Crosby, the outspoken founding member of CSNY and The Byrds, turns his wry and unstinting eye to a fascinating, prickly subject: himself. Known to millions as the trickster poster boy for folkrock utopia and the inspiration for Dennis Hopper's wild-eyed antihero in the film Easy Rider, David Crosby is every bit the quintessential American icon of the counterculture today that he was in the sixties and seventies.

The Byrds typically kept the lyrics and the basic rhythm and melody pretty the same as in the Bob Dylan original. Instead, they added value with their inarguably better singing, and their often greater attention to harmony and production. "All I Really Want to Do" was the second single by the American folk rock band the Byrds, and was released on June 14, 1965, by Columbia Records (see 1965 in music). The song was also included on the band's debut album, Mr.
