David Crosby says he likes songs that tell a story. He wants the listener to be involved.

The legendary U.S. singer-songwriter is a two-time member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with seminal bands The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, a four-time member of the Grammy Hall of Fame and a member of the Songwriter香蕉视频直播檚 Hall of Fame.

Crosby will bring his music storytelling to the stage Wednesday (Sept. 14) for a concert at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Playing an acoustic set with his son, James Raymond, and guitarist Jeff Pevar, Crosby香蕉视频直播檚 show will include songs he has penned in the past 香蕉视频直播 including hits from his days with The Byrds and CS&N 香蕉视频直播 as well as songs from his new album, Lighthouse, his first new solo album in 23 years.

Listening to Lighthouse, it香蕉视频直播檚 easy to hear the same type of harmonies that made CS&N famous, starting with their breakout performance at Woodstock in 1969.

Today, the 75-year-old Californian says he香蕉视频直播檚 OK with an expectation he will play songs from more than 40 years ago because he usually includes a number of them in his sets.

香蕉视频直播淚 tend to play smaller places, with smaller crowds who know those songs pretty well,香蕉视频直播 said the laid-back-sounding Crosby. 香蕉视频直播淏ut touring is tough, man香蕉视频直播攜ou don香蕉视频直播檛 get much sleep, you eat crappy food and you香蕉视频直播檙e away from home for long stretches. But those few hours on stage, they make it worth it.香蕉视频直播

For Crosby, it香蕉视频直播檚 all about the music.

With a career spanning more than 50 years and a catalogue of thousands of songs penned over that period, including Lady Friend, Why and Eight Miles High with The Byrds and Guinnevere, Wooden Ships, Shadow Captain and In My Dreams with CS&N, Crosby says what brought him back into the studio to record Lighthouse was a mixture of having plenty of new material at hand and being at a happy place in his life right now.

香蕉视频直播淭his is about the songs,香蕉视频直播 he says. 香蕉视频直播淭he tale-telling. Taking you on a voyage to my world for a moment.香蕉视频直播

Crosby wanted the sound of Lighthouse to be reminiscent of his first solo album, the 1971 release, If Only I Could Remember My Name.

While music remains a huge part of Crosby香蕉视频直播檚 life, it is not the only thing about him. He is also an author and a social activist, having done extensive work with groups such as Human Rights Watch and M.U.S.E., as well as countless other organizations.

So it香蕉视频直播檚 not surprising he has definite opinions about the current state of political affairs in the U.S.

A dyed-in-the-wool Liberal, he says he香蕉视频直播檚 familiar with this part of Canada having driven through the Okanagan once on his way from Banff to Vancouver and liked what he saw.

香蕉视频直播淎nd if (U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald) Trump gets in, I may have to move there,香蕉视频直播 he says with what sounds like only a hint of a laugh.
