IN PERSON: David Crosby was one of the most creative, distinctive and complex musicians of the past 75 years. From his early days with The Byrds to his groundbreaking work with Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young, and in his solo projects as well as his collaborations, Crosby created music that was by turns political, beautiful, challenging and always honest. Known for his strong opinions and turbulent personal life — including struggles with addiction and time in a Texas jail — Crosby never lost his drive to explore, innovate and push musical boundaries. His lifelong quest for melody, harmony and storytelling defined his remarkable career. In this course, we will trace the major periods of Crosby’s journey, exploring his creative evolution and how his collaborators brought out both his best and worst instincts. Through his songs, videos and interviews and the reflections of those who knew him, we’ll gain deeper insight into the man behind the music and his relentless search for harmony. | Lecture + Q&A.
