In a celebration of the remarkable career and enduring legacy of the late David Crosby, his final band is set to reunite for a highly anticipated tribute concert at the historic Lobero Theatre. The event will take place on August 20 and promises to be a heartfelt homage to the iconic musician's contributions to the world of music.
The Lobero Theatre holds a special significance for David Crosby, as the show was initially intended to host by David himself with his Final band in honor of the venue's 150th anniversary on February 22.
However, fate had other plans, and the music world mourned the untimely passing of David and that show couldn't happen. Now his final band, on August 20, will not only pay tribute to Crosby's illustrious career, but it will also serve as a long-awaited make-up show for the previously scheduled show by Crosby.

David Crosby's contributions as a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist
David Crosby was an American singer-songwriter and musician, who rose to fame as a founding member of two iconic folk-rock bands, The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN).
Crosby's musical career took off in the 1960s when he co-founded The Byrds. As a member of the band, he played a crucial role in pioneering the folk-rock sound, blending elements of folk music with rock and pop.
Following his departure from The Byrds in 1967, Crosby formed Crosby, Stills & Nash with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. The trio quickly gained recognition for their intricate harmonies and politically charged songwriting.
David Crosby also pursued a successful solo career, releasing numerous solo albums, starting with If I Could Only Remember My Name in 1971. His solo work showcased his songwriting skills and diverse musical influences.
Despite his turbulent past, he remains a respected figure in the music industry and a revered folk-rock icon.
