Jim Messina
Will Be Bringing The Hits When
He Plays In Kent
Fans of classic ‘70s rock and country-rock will have a chance to see a true music legend when Jim Messina performs at The Kent Stage on March 19. Over a career spanning more than five decades, Messina has been part of several influential bands, including Buffalo Springfield, where he served as producer and later bassist, and the pioneering country-rock group Poco. His biggest commercial success came as one half of the hit-making duo Loggins and Messina alongside Kenny Loggins, a partnership that produced multiple platinum albums and sold more than 16 million records.
​
Concertgoers can expect an evening filled with timeless songs that helped define the sound of the 1970s. Classics from the Loggins & Messina catalog such as “Your Mama Don't Dance,” which reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with favorites like “Danny's Song,” “Thinking of You,” and “My Music” are likely to appear in the setlist. Backed by his band, Messina continues to celebrate a musical legacy that bridges rock, folk, and country influences, making this Kent stop a must-see performance for longtime fans and anyone who appreciates classic American songwriting.
