David Crosby is an iconic figure in the world of folk-rock and a founding member of two seminal bands of the 1960s and 70s, The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). Born on August 14, 1941, in Los Angeles, California, Crosby carved out a distinguished musical career accentuated by his melodic songwriting, distinctive guitar work, and a harmonious voice that would become part of the soundtrack to a generation’s social revolution. His pioneering spirit helped define the counterculture era, while his personal life famously mirrored the excesses and trials of rock stardom.

Crosby’s discography is a tapestry of critical and commercial successes, including his contributions to The Byrds' hits like "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Eight Miles High," as well as his integral role in CSN(Y)'s "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Wooden Ships." His solo career and collaborations with Graham Nash and others have continued this legacy of artistry. Among Crosby's more recent releases include the heartfelt album "For Free" in 2021, featuring collaborations with contemporary artists like Sarah Jarosz. The live album "Live at the Capitol Theatre" showcases his enduring live performance prowess, with songs like "Guinnevere" resonating as deeply today as they did upon their initial release. Crosby remains a resilient figure in music, his life and works offering a window into the soul of an artist who has both reflected and shaped the cultural landscape around him.
