ROCK ‘N ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE,
DAVID CROSBY, TO PERFORM AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY
David Crosby, a two-time Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductee
and renowned musician, will present a special evening of classic rock
with his band CPR at William Paterson University’s Shea Center
for Performing Arts on March 5 at 8 p.m.
Crosby’s career began with the folk/rock revival of the early
1960s as a solo artist. In 1963, he became a member of The Byrds,
a groundbreaking musical group. The band was best known for hit songs
including, “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” and “Eight
Miles High.” Crosby left the band in 1967 and produced singer
Joni Mitchell’s debut album.
He achieved fame as part of Crosby, Stills and Nash. After Neil Young
joined the group, the foursome displayed an unforgettable performance
at Woodstock in 1969, which established their iconic presence into
the world of rock music.
His solo album, “…If I Could Only Remember My Name,”
was critically acclaimed. He also produced several more albums for
Nash, including the renowned, “Wind On The Water.”
After recovering from liver transplant surgery and uniting with James
Raymond, his long-lost son of 30 years, the pair wasted no time in
teaming up with guitarist and vocalist Jeff Pevar, to form the jazz-inflected
and rock-influenced sound of CPR in 1995. The trio have composed three
albums, the most recent being “Just Like Gravity,” a collection
James Raymond calls “…more aggressive, rockin’ and
eclectic” than previous works.
Raymond, a well-established keyboard soloist, musical director and
composer, began studying theory and composition in college. He also
served as musical director for the award-winning Nickelodeon series
“Roundhouse.” Jeff Pevar’s fascination with The
Beatles turned him into a bar-band pro before he was old enough to
drive. He has performed or recorded with many well-known musicians
including Rickie Lee Jones, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Joe Cocker,
Jimmy Webb and Carly Simon.
