Graham Nash is on tour and he is bringing Judy Collins with him. These two were huge back in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Nash of course was with Crosby Stills Nash and Young. For a brief time he was with the Hollies and he played “Bus Stop” from that era of his life. He opened this leg of the tour with two sold out nights at the Scottish Rite Auditorium , in Collingswood NJ.
Nash was just at the Ocean City Music Pier , The set list really did not change much from that show. He closed with “Ohio” . He also played “Just A Song Before I Go”, which he bet a pot dealer $500.00 that he could write a hit song in a very short time. He did.
Nash has a new band, Shane Fontaine is no longer playing with him. Todd Caldwell – Keyboards Zach Djanikian – Guitar, Bass, Drums, Saxophone, Mandoline and Adam Minkoff – Guitar, Bass, Drums. The band is on fire, bringing new energy to his shows.

Nash went on just after 9:00 PM and the show ended at 10:15PM. He sold out two shows at this venue. For both shows, Judy Collins was opening the show. That’s not the case for all of the shows on this tour. She joined Graham Nash on stage for one song, “Helplessly Hoping”.
