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 Songwriter91裸聊视频檚 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, Crosby91裸聊视频檚 show will include songs he has penned in the past 91裸聊视频 including hits from his days with The Byrds and CS&N 91裸聊视频 as well as songs from his new album, Lighthouse, his first new solo album in 23 years.

Listening to Lighthouse, it91裸聊视频檚 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 he91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淚 tend to play smaller places, with smaller crowds who know those songs pretty well,91裸聊视频 said the laid-back-sounding Crosby. 91裸聊视频淏ut touring is tough, man91裸聊视频攜ou don91裸聊视频檛 get much sleep, you eat crappy food and you91裸聊视频檙e away from home for long stretches. But those few hours on stage, they make it worth it.91裸聊视频

For Crosby, it91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淭his is about the songs,91裸聊视频 he says. 91裸聊视频淭he tale-telling. Taking you on a voyage to my world for a moment.91裸聊视频

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 Crosby91裸聊视频檚 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 it91裸聊视频檚 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 he91裸聊视频檚 familiar with this part of Canada having driven through the Okanagan once on his way from Banff to Vancouver and liked what he saw.

91裸聊视频淎nd if (U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald) Trump gets in, I may have to move there,91裸聊视频 he says with what sounds like only a hint of a laugh.
