Stephen Stills
Stephen Stills' consummate, innovative musicianship has established him as an eminent solo performer and as the cornerstone of the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. For four decades, Stephen Stills' music has spanned generations and cultural borders, entertaining millions of listeners throughout the world. His unique guitar style and phrasing has garnered Stills a well deserved spot among the best players in the world. Following the break up of Buffalo Springfield (including Richie Furay and Neil Young), Stills began collaborating with David Crosby and Graham Nash. Their first album sold over 2 million copies the first year. The popularity of the classic Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, has helped the 1969 album sell over 4 million copies to date. When Stills returned to the studio in 1972 he was joined by Chris Hillman of the Flying Burrito Brothers and pedal steel guitarist, Al Perkins. The result of their collaboration, Manassas, is arguably some of Stills' finest work away from CSN&Y. In March, 1972, the first performance of Manassas was televised inter-nationally from Amsterdam Concertgebouw. CS&N toured intermittently throughout 1977 and 1978, with Stills finding time to return to the studio to record his fifth solo album, Thoroughfare Gap. The band's increasing popularity culminated into two of the most successful tours of their career in the middle eighties. The nineties took Stephen Stills to a new level. As one of rock music's statesmen, Stills' stature in the political arena is widely respected. His work as a songwriter , guitarist and a performer has never been better. Count on Stephen Stills to continue to record and perform his music. Count on him to continue to be socially and politically active. You can bet that Stephen Stills will remain involved, and that his best work is still ahead of him. You can find Stephen Stills' website at: stephenstills.com
