Few artists can claim a legacy as influential as Richie Furay, and fans will have the chance to experience that history firsthand when the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer takes the stage at Kent Stage. As a founding member of Buffalo Springfield, Poco and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, Furay helped shape the sound of folk rock and country rock, inspiring generations of musicians along the way. His career includes timeless classics such as Buffalo Springfield's "Kind Woman" and Poco favorites including "Pickin' Up the Pieces," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Bad Weather" and "Crazy Love." Audiences can also expect stories from a remarkable career that has spanned more than six decades, making this performance as much a celebration of music history as it is a concert.

​

Backed by his accomplished touring band, Furay continues to perform with the same warmth, sincerity and passion that made him one of the defining voices of the late 1960s and 1970s California rock scene. Whether revisiting Buffalo Springfield classics, Poco staples or selections from his solo catalog, the evening promises a mix of harmony-rich songs, masterful musicianship and heartfelt storytelling. For longtime fans, it's an opportunity to relive the soundtrack of an era, while younger listeners can experience the music of one of Americana's true pioneers in the intimate surroundings of the Kent Stage.
