Crosby to folk up Kelowna

Iconic folk rocker David Crosby is coming to the Okanagan.

Crosby will perform Sept. 14 at Kelowna Community Theatre.

The singer-songwriter and social justice activist is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, inducted as a member of both the iconic folk-rock band The Byrds, with whom he first rose to stardom, and the iconic Woodstock era-defining group Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday.

A native Californian and son of an Academy Award-winning cinematographer, Crosby originally intended to be an actor when he moved from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles in 1960. Music prevailed, however, and Crosby began his career as a folksinger, playing clubs and coffeehouses nationwide.

Back in L.A. in 1963, Crosby formed The Byrds with Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke.

Driven by hits including "Eight Miles High," "Turn! Turn! Turn!," and a cover of Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," The Byrds' signature electric folk-rock influenced generations of musicians to come.
