Graham Nash has announced his first studio album of new material in seven years, titled Now, due 19 May. Now is produced by Nash and longtime touring keyboardist Todd Caldwell. The first taste of the album, Right Now, is available today, listen below.

“I believe that my new album Now is the most personal one I have ever made. At this point in my life, that’s something to say,” notes Nash.

Nash will hit the road in support of Now this spring with a run of performances throughout the US The tour — Sixty Years of Songs and Stories — marks the 60th anniversary of Nash’s first single with the Hollies, one of the leaders of the British Invasion of the 1960s, and includes multiple night residencies in New York; Chicago; Minneapolis; Alexandria, VA; Annapolis, MD and more. Additionally, in June and July Nash will revisit his west coast tour dates recently postponed due to Covid. See grahamnash.com for a list of upcoming shows and tickets.

Nash’s remarkable body of work as a member of The Hollies from 1964 to ’68. His contributions to Crosby, Stills & Nash and >Déjà Vu have become some of the most beloved in pop music, including Marrakesh Express, Pre-Road Downs, Lady of the Island, Teach Your Children and Our House. Nash’s career as a solo artist took flight in 1971 with two albums further showcasing the depths of his abilities as a singer and songwriter, Songs For Beginners and Wild Tales, which gave us the songs Chicago/We Can Change the World, Military Madness, I Used To Be A King and Simple Man.

Nash’s passionate voice has long been heard in support of peace and social and environmental justice. The No Nukes/Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts he organized with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt in 1979 remain hugely influential benefit events. In September 2013, Nash released his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales, which landed him on The New York Times Best Sellers list. In recognition of his contributions as a musician and philanthropist, Nash was appointed an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II. While continually building his musical legacy, Nash is also a renowned photographer and visual artist whose work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide.
