Graham Nash: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

While I sat on the floor watching Graham Nash play The Hollies' 1966 hit "Bus Stop," I caught a glimpse of the same transistor radio I had as a kid when that song filled the AM radio airwaves. It was surreal and beautiful.

Nash has a voice that resonates and cuts to the core. When he played the title track from his forthcoming solo album This Path Tonight, I was moved by the clarity and quality of his tone. His lucid songwriting displays the deep introspection that comes with age; he's 74 and as insightful as ever. Along with guitarist Shane Fontayne, Nash played music that felt memorable, touching and as thoughtful as anything he made during his time with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

This Path Tonight is available now:

Set List:
"Bus Stop"
"Myself At Last"

A legend can play a new song between 50 year old classics and not miss a beat. Awesome

[ArnoMBetts]

Mr. put....I think you are the best ! Thank you for all the years and the wonderful music !

Am 28 and I thought I have wasted a lot of time..but this legend proves me that Age is just a number, this man inspires me to take out my guitar and write the songs I always wanted to. Thank you Graham Nash.

I just heard Graham Nash in concert this past weekend. It was excellent. 50 years on and he still is making beautiful music. We are very fortunate.

[kerryshrode]

Graham is truly a gift for us, thank you very much

[broadpath]

One of the things I love about watching great musicians are the gorgeous instruments they play. Especially acoustic guitars. Crosby, Nash, Richard Thompson, the fine guitars they play make me happy.

[ricoviselli]

It is so refreshing to hear an artist perform a 50 year old hit like it was a new release. Thank you Graham.

"Myself at Last" had me weeping tears of beautiful anguish. Masterful music from these two musicians. Wonderful.

I grew up listening to MTV Unplugged. I am not
taking anything away from MTV Unplugged.
BUT NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert is better.
More natural; more sublime.
Peace, love and RNR!

I find that I can only take this wonderful broadcast in short takes, there is so much feeling and pure musicianship there, Thank you, Graham from the Hollies to CSN&Y to your solo path to the moon!

Sittin' here, stupid grin, just loving this. Just freaking amazing. I wanna be Graham when I grow up. What a man, voice, activist, humanist, shit.

Bus Stop, 50 years old. Still sounds as fresh as when I first heard it.

[drockmonster]

I realize this is 5 years old but it is new to me. I'm a life long musician and more recent also a song writer. I was blown away by Myself At Last. Wow! Beautiful chord changes and great meaningful lyrics. More people need to hear it.

[Max-cnwd]

Graham Nash is one of the best musicians alive and one of the best ever. I love his Album "This Path Tonight" so much especially the beautiful Song "Myself at Last".

[johnnydfunkychunky]

my father is the spitting image of Graham Nash in the younger days - everything even the hair couldn't be more proud .. Graham Nash has still got it the talent the voice and everything..

[jonslater]

This ray of sunshine is JUST what I needed in this time of social distancing. Thank you Graham!

[Barry]

Graham and Shane sound so good together. Mr Nash is in fine voice, sounds as good as he always did

[namenlos]

Saw those two perform live at "Burg Herzberg" Festival this year. It was the last day and after 4 incredibly hot days the rain started falling in the middle of their performance. It had something very pure to it. Amazing crowd, amazing musicians.
