Graham Nash is a singer-songwriter and musician best known for his work with the bands The Hollies and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Born on February 2, 1942, in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, Nash grew up in a musical family. His father, William, was a bandleader and pianist, and his mother, Mary (nee Crook), was a singer. Nash began playing the piano at an early age and later took up the guitar. He attended Oriel High School in Blackpool and then studied art at the London College of Printing.

Nash’s musical career began in 1961 as a member of The Hollies, a British pop group that achieved success with hits such as “Bus Stop” and “Stop, Stop, Stop.” Nash wrote or co-wrote several of The Hollies’ songs, including “Carrie Anne” and “King Midas in Reverse.” He left the group in 1968 to pursue a solo career.

In 1969, Nash teamed up with fellow musicians David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form the folk rock group Crosby, Stills & Nash. The trio released their self-titled debut album that year, which featured the hit single “Marrakesh Express.” They were later joined by Neil Young to form Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The supergroup released two albums, “Deja Vu” (1970) and “Four Way Street” (1971), before disbanding in 1974.

Nash has released several solo albums over the years, including “Songs for Beginners” (1971), “Wild Tales” (1974), and “This Path Tonight” (2016). He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of both The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Nash has been married three times. His first marriage was to Rosemary Butler from 1963 to 1968. He was married to Susan Sennett from 1985 to 2006. He has been married to Amy Grantham since 2016. Nash has four children: Matthew, James, Anna, and Eve.

Graham Nash has an estimated net worth of $60 million. He has earned his fortune as a singer-songwriter and musician.

1[on "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel] When I first heard this track by Peter and Kate Bush it was just spectacular for me. I love the sentiment. Don't ever give up. Beautiful. Peter Gabriel makes incredibly great-sounding records.
2I have probably saved myself several million dollars in psychiatry bills because I talk to myself a lot. I think most songwriters do.

Facts

#Fact
1Was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a second time in 2009 as a member of the Hollies.
2He was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to music.
3Crosby, Stills, and Nash were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6666 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
4Was nearly killed at Woodstock as the helicopter that was flying him in lost its tail rotor just as it was coming in for a landing. As a result the helicopter was forced to autorotate down the last 25 feet and make a hard landing. Luckilly, Nash wasn't hurt and he was still able to perform.
5When he started teaming up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, a problem arose because Crosby and Stills were signed to Atlantic records and Nash, as a member of the Hollies, was signed to Epic. The problem was resolved when Atlantic "traded" Richie Furay to Epic for Nash.
6Was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy).
7The original singer and rhythm guitarist for the Hollies.
8Left the Hollies because he wanted to write more challenging material. In fact, he quit the band after they announced they were going to do an album of Bob Dylan covers.
9Had a long term love affair with singer Joni Mitchell. In fact, he wrote the song "Our House" about their relationship.
10Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 (as a member of Crosby, Stills and Nash).
11Father of Jackson Nash
