By Dave Read<\/a>, July 29, 2025 performance – Emmylou Harris<\/strong> and Graham Nash<\/strong> delivered a wonderfully entertaining evening of music in the Koussevitsky Music Shed<\/em> at Tanglewood<\/strong>, a venue they each first played fifty years ago. It was a treat to see and hear such seasoned performers in full command of the musical artistry that carried them to fame in the ’60s and ’70s. <\/p>\n

Nash performed seated because of a recent fall in NYC – “but, I didn’t fall on my voice,” he said before leading his band through a set of fourteen songs, with an emphasis on his time with Crosby Stills and Nash + Young<\/strong>. Unlike so many aged performers whose insecurity spoils their stagecraft, Nash interspersed songs with amusing anecdotes. His band included the multi-instrumentalists Adam Minkoff<\/strong> and Zach Djanikian<\/strong>, and keyboardist Todd Caldwell<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

If the performance of Mr. Nash and band was primarily a welcome and vigorous visit to earlier decades, Ms. Emmylou Harris’s<\/strong> set showed us that time has a way of standing still, as it appears to have for her. Wrapped in a cloud of white locks, she remains a presence as she did when introduced to the ages in the closing segment of The Last Waltz<\/strong>, singing Evangeline<\/em> with The Band<\/strong>. Accompanied by her Red Dirt Band<\/strong>, which now includes John Prine’s<\/strong> bassist, Ms. Harris treated the audience to a survey of her diverse repertoire. <\/p>\n

And she is an engaging hostess, telling of an early interest in theatre that involved Tanglewood and also referencing the Down East humor of Marshall Dodge<\/a>, which got no reaction, sadly, because, among other reasons, the Berkshires ain’t quite Down East. <\/p>\n
