About Emmylou Harris
A 14-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris' contribution as a singer and songwriter spans more than 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.
Harris is known as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. Admired throughout her career for her talent as both an artist and song connoisseur, Harris shook up country radio in the 1970s and established herself as one of the premiere voices of her generation, selling more than 15 million records and earning 14 Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards, and four Americana Awards.
She has recorded with a diverse range of artists including Linda Ronstadt, Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, Ryan Adams, Beck, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett, and Rodney Crowell.
A longtime social activist, Harris has lent her voice to many causes, most passionately to animal welfare. In 2004 she established Bonaparte's Retreat, with the goal of rescuing shelter dogs and adopting them into forever homes. Today, the organization continues to save dogs most in need at Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control and municipal shelters in surrounding counties.
About Graham Nash
Graham Nash, as a founding member of both The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, is a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee who has seen rock history unfold from the launch of the British Invasion to the birth of the Laurel Canyon movement and beyond.
A Grammy Award®-winning artist and self-described "simple man," Nash was also inducted twice into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, recognized for his work with Crosby, Stills & Nash and for his solo career.
Towering above virtually everything Nash has accomplished in his long and multi-faceted career stands the extraordinary catalog of songs he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the past six decades. His work with The Hollies from 1964 to 1968 included hits such as "On A Carousel" and "Carrie Anne."
After relocating to the United States in 1968, Nash formed Crosby, Stills & Nash, and later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, creating some of the most influential music of the era. The group's first album, Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969), featured Nash songs including "Marrakesh Express," "Pre-Road Downs," and "Lady of the Island." Their landmark follow-up Déjà Vu (1970) included Nash's iconic "Teach Your Children" and "Our House."
Nash's solo career began with the acclaimed album Songs for Beginners in 1971, featuring "Chicago/We Can Change the World" and "Military Madness." His most recent album, Now, was released in 2023.
In addition to his music, Nash is a passionate advocate for peace, environmental, and social justice causes. He is also an internationally renowned photographer whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. His photography collection was featured in the book A Life in Focus: The Photography of Graham Nash, released in 2021.
