Music career

Nash was born in Blackpool, England during World War II. In the early 1960s he was a leading member of The Hollies, one of the UK's most successful pop groups ever. Although recognised as a key member of the group, he seldom sang lead vocals, although he did write many of the band's songs, most often in collaboration with Allan Clarke. Nash was pivotal in the forging of a sound and lyrics showing an obvious hippie influence on The Hollies' album Butterfly a collection that brought differing opinions concerning the band's musical direction to the fore.

In 1968, after a visit to the USA during which he had been introduced to David Crosby in Laurel Canyon and had begun experimenting with drugs, Nash left The Hollies at the height of their fame, to form a new group with Crosby and Stephen Stills, a threesome at first, and later a foursome with Neil Young - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. With them, he went on to even greater worldwide success. Nash, nicknamed "Willy" by his band mates in CSNY, has been described as the glue that keeps their often fragile alliances together. A mark of this is the loyalty and support Nash showed to his best friend, Crosby, during Crosby's well documented period of drug addiction ending in the mid 1980s. Nash's solo career has often been shelved in favour of reunions on stage and in the studio with either Crosby and Stills or Crosby, Stills and Young. His own solo work shows a love of melody and ballads. His solo recordings have experimented with jazz and electronic percussion but tend not to stray too far from a pop format with well defined hook lines. 1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1968 calendar). ...

Nash became very politically active after moving to California to join with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, which would be reflected in Nash songs such as "Military Madness" and "Chicago (We Can Change the World)." His song "Immigration Man," Crosby and Nash's biggest hit as a duo (see below), arose from a tiff he had with a U.S. Customs official while trying to enter the country. Nash became an American citizen on August 14, 1978.

Starting in 1972, Nash teamed with Crosby, the two continuing as a successful recording and performing duo until the more or less permanent reformation with Stills for the CSN album of 1977. The pair reunited for another Crosby & Nash studio album in 2004, and a legitimate release of music from a 1970s Crosby-Nash tour as on a widely-circulated bootleg appeared in 1998.

Photography career

Nash became an early collector of photographs beginning in the 1970s. The sale of his collection in 1990 by Sotheby's became an important milestone in establishing the market for fine-art photography. Proceeds of the sale funded charitable causes and provide the means for Nash to co-found the creation of Nash Editions, a digital fine-arts printmaking firm that used some of the most advanced scanning and printing equipment in early days. The company continues to operate today. Image File history File links GrahamNashEyeToEye. ... Image File history File links GrahamNashEyeToEye. ...
