Graham Nash

Graham William Nash was born on 2 February 1942 in Blackpool, Lancashire, to where his mother had been evacuated from her hometown of Salford when World War II began. The family returned to Salford, where Nash grew up. When Nash was 14, his father was sent to prison for a year for receiving a stolen camera; he had bought the camera as a present for Graham but had then refused to disclose to the police the name of the relative who had sold it to him.{{Cite web|url=https://www.grahamnash.com/content/graham-nash-life-road|title=Graham Nash: Life on the Road | Graham Nash|website=www.grahamnash.com}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/may/03/graham-nash-on-families-joni-mitchell-and-toxic-masculinity-if-you-could-kill-putin-would-you-i-would|title='There was an enormous amount of drugs being taken': Graham Nash on groupies, feuds, divorce and ego|first=Simon|last=Hattenstone|date=3 May 2022|newspaper=The Guardian}}

In the early 1960s, Nash co-founded the Hollies, one of the UK's most successful pop groups, with school friend Allan Clarke, and was credited as the group's leader on their first album. He was featured vocally on "Just One Look" (1964) and sang his first lead vocal on the original Hollies song "To You My Love" on the band's second album In The Hollies Style of the same year. He often sang featured bridge vocals on later Hollies recordings ("So Lonely", "I've Been Wrong", "Pay You Back With Interest") and provided lead vocals on several later singles, notably "On a Carousel" and "Carrie Anne" (both 1967).{{cite news |last=Lennon |first=Troy |date=1 February 2017 |title=Prolific songwriter Graham Nash still finds his voice with a new generation of fans |newspaper=Daily Telegraph |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/prolific-songwriter-graham-nash-still-finds-his-voice-with-a-new-generation-of-fans/news-story/10aa471da2073b4185c46108b5d4fdc1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303190528if_/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/prolific-songwriter-graham-nash-still-finds-his-voice-with-a-new-generation-of-fans/news-story/10aa471da2073b4185c46108b5d4fdc1 |archive-date=3 March 2017}}

Nash encouraged the Hollies to write their own songs, initially with Clarke, then with Clarke and guitarist Tony Hicks. From 1964 to mid-1966 they wrote under the alias L. Ransford. Their own names were credited on songs from "Stop Stop Stop" from October 1966 onward. In 1965, Nash, with Allan Clarke and guitarist Tony Hicks, formed Gralto Music Ltd, a publishing company which handled their own songs and later signed the young Reg Dwight (a.k.a. Elton John) who played piano and organ on Hollies 1969 and 1970 recordings.

Nash was pivotal in the forging of a sound and lyrics, often writing the verses on Clarke, Hicks & Nash songs. However, Nash also composed songs by himself under the 'team banner' (like Lennon & McCartney), including "Fifi the Flea" (1966), "Clown" (1966), "Stop Right There", and "Everything Is Sunshine" (1967). The Butterfly album included several of his songs that had less group participation and exhibited more of a singer-songwriter approach. He was disappointed when this new style did not register with their audience, especially "King Midas in Reverse" (Nash and producer Ron Richards clashed over this song because Richards believed it was 'too complex' to work as a hit single).

Nash initially met both David Crosby and Stephen Stills in 1966 during a Hollies US tour. On a subsequent visit to the US in 1968, he was more formally introduced to Crosby by mutual friend Cass Elliott in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. Nash left the Hollies to form a new group with Crosby and Stills. A trio at first, Crosby, Stills & Nash later became a quartet in 1969 with Neil Young: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY).

With both configurations, Nash went on to even greater worldwide success, penning many of CSN's most-commercial hit singles such as "Our House" (about the house in Laurel Canyon shared with his then-lover Joni Mitchell); "Teach Your Children" and "Marrakesh Express" (both of which had been rejected by the Hollies); "Just a Song Before I Go"; and "Wasted on the Way". Nash, nicknamed "Willy" by his bandmates, has been described as the glue that keeps their often fragile alliances together.

Nash became politically active after moving to California, as reflected in his anti-Vietnam War songs "Military Madness" and "Chicago / We Can Change the World" (about the trial of the Chicago Eight).

{{Main article|Crosby & Nash}}

In 1972, during CSNY's first hiatus, Nash teamed with Crosby, forming a successful duo. They worked in this configuration on and off for many years, producing four studio albums and a few live and compilation albums. His song "Immigration Man", Crosby & Nash's biggest hit as a duo, arose from a tiff he had with a US Customs official while trying to enter the country.

In 1971, Nash released his first solo album Songs For Beginners on Atlantic Records. His second album Wild Tales, was released in 1974. Later, Nash would perform these two albums live on tour in 2019.{{Cite magazine |last=Greene |first=Andy |date=2019-03-14 |title=Graham Nash to Play First Two Solo Albums on Fall Tour |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/graham-nash-solo-albums-fall-tour-808447/ |access-date=2024-06-05 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}

In 1979, Nash co-founded Musicians United for Safe Energy which is against the expansion of nuclear power. MUSE put on the educational fundraising No Nukes events. In 2007 the group recorded a music video of a new version of the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth".{{cite web |url=http://www.nukefree.org/node/96 |title="For What It's Worth," No Nukes Reunite After Thirty Years |publisher=Nukefree.org |access-date=20 October 2011 |archive-date=19 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719202100/http://www.nukefree.org/node/96 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://www.nirs.org/home.htm |title=Musicians Act to Stop New Atomic Reactors |publisher=Nirs.org |access-date=20 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150609064533/http://www.nirs.org/home.htm |archive-date=9 June 2015 }}

Nash briefly rejoined the Hollies in 1983 (to mark their 20th anniversary) to record two albums, What Goes Around... and Reunion. In 1993, Nash again reunited with the Hollies to record a new version of "Peggy Sue Got Married" that featured lead vocal by Buddy Holly (taken from an alternative version of the song given to Nash by Holly's widow Maria Eleana Holly)—this Buddy Holly & the Hollies recording opened the Not Fade Away tribute album to Holly by various artists.

In 2005, Nash collaborated with Norwegian musicians A-ha on the songs "Over the Treetops" (penned by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy) and "Cosy Prisons" (penned by Magne Furuholmen) for the Analogue recording. In 2006, Nash worked with David Gilmour and David Crosby on the title track of David Gilmour's third solo album, On an Island. In March 2006, the album was released and quickly reached No. 1 on the UK charts. Nash and Crosby subsequently toured the UK with Gilmour, singing backup on "On an Island", "The Blue", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and "Find the Cost of Freedom".

In addition to his political songs Nash has written many songs on other themes he cares about such as of nature and ecology—beginning with the Hollies' "Signs That Will Never Change" (first recorded by the Everly Brothers in 1966)—later CSNY's "Clear Blue Skies", plus anti-nuclear-waste-dumping ("Barrel of Pain"), anti-war ("Soldiers of Peace") and social issues ("Prison Song").

Nash appeared on the season 7 finale of American Idol singing "Teach Your Children" with Brooke White.

In 2010, Nash was inducted a second time to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this time as a member of the Hollies. He was appointed OBE "for services to music and charitable activities", becoming an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the Diplomatic and Overseas Division of the Queen's Birthday Honours List on 12 June 2010. Nash received the title of George Eastman Honorary Scholar at the George Eastman House on 22 January 2011, in Rochester, New York.

Nash contributed a cover of "Raining in My Heart" to the 2011 tribute album Rave on Buddy Holly.

File:DIG13603-011.jpgOn 22 January 2016, Nash announced the forthcoming release on 15 April 2016 of his new studio album entitled This Path Tonight (his first collection of new songs in fourteen years) and shared the title track from it through MOJO magazine's website.{{cite web |url=http://www.mojo4music.com/22974/graham-nash-previews-new-album-this-path-tonight/ |title= Graham Nash Previews New Album, This Path Tonight (Graham Nash shares the title track of his forthcoming album, This Path Tonight, in an exclusive stream for MOJO readers.)

Interested in photography as a child, Nash began to collect photographs in the early 1970s. Having acquired more than a thousand prints by 1976, Nash hired Graham Howe as his photography curator. In 1978 through 1984 a touring exhibition of selections from the Graham Nash Collection toured to more than a dozen museums worldwide. Nash decided to sell his 2,000 print collection through Sotheby's auction house in 1990 where it set an auction record for the highest grossing sale of a single private collection of photography.Beth Gates-Warren, editor, Photographs from the Collection of Graham Nash, Sotheby's, New York, 25 April 1990{{cite web | url=http://auctioncatalogs.com/product/sothebys-new-york-april-25-1990-photographs-from-the-collection-of-graham-nash-5443/ | title=Sotheby's New York, April 25, 1990: Photographs from the Collection of Graham Nash | work=Auction Catalogs | access-date=1 June 2019 | archive-date=1 June 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190601062308/http://auctioncatalogs.com/product/sothebys-new-york-april-25-1990-photographs-from-the-collection-of-graham-nash-5443/ | url-status=dead }} Nash said that some of the auction profit would be given to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the acquisition of contemporary photographs.{{cite news | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-04-26-mn-351-story.html | title=Graham Nash Photographs Sale Sets Record : Art: More than 400 pictures and albums sell for $2.4 million.

In 2010 21st Editions published a monograph titled "Love, Graham Nash" which includes facsimiles of his lyrics paired with signed photographs by Graham Nash and printed by Nash Editions.

In the late 1980s Nash began to experiment with digital images of his photography on Macintosh computers with the assistance of R. Mac Holbert who at that time was the tour manager for Crosby, Stills and Nash as well as handling computer/technical matters for the band. Nash ran into the problem common with all personal computers running graphics software during that period: he could create very sophisticated detailed images on the computer, but there was no output device (computer printer) capable of reproducing what he saw on the computer screen. Nash and Holbert initially experimented with early commercial printers that were then becoming available and printed many images on the large format Fujix inkjet printers at UCLA's JetGraphix digital output centre. When Fuji decided to stop supporting the printers, John Bilotta, who was running JetGraphix, recommended that Nash and Holbert look into the Iris printer, a new large format continuous-tone inkjet printer built for prepress proofing by IRIS Graphics, Inc.{{cite web|url=http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0105/nash_intro.htm |title=Nash Editions: Fine Art Printing on the Digital Frontier, by Garrett White |publisher=Digitaljournalist.org |access-date=20 October 2011}} Through IRIS Graphics national sales rep Steve Boulter, Nash also met programmer David Coons, a colour engineer for Disney, who was already using the IRIS printer there to print images from Disney's new digital animation system.

Coons worked off hours at Disney to produce large images of 16 of Nash's photographic portraits on arches watercolour paper using Disney's in-house model 3024 IRIS printer for a 24 April 1990 show at Simon Lowinsky gallery.{{cite web|url=http://www.stansherer.com/Iris_2.htm |title=Digital Fine-Art Printing Comes of Age (Adapted from Chapter 1 of Harald Johnson's book, Mastering Digital Printing, Second Edition, Thomson Course Technology PTR, 2005, ISBN 1-59200-431-8.) |website=Stansherer.com |access-date=20 October 2011}} Since most of the original negatives and prints had been lost in shipment to a book publisher, Coons had to scan contact sheets and enhance the images so they could be printed in large format. He used software he had written to output the photographic images to the IRIS printer, a machine designed to work with proprietary prepress computer systems.Harald Johnson, "Mastering Digital Printing", Thompson Course Technology, 2002, {{ISBN|1-929685-65-3}}

In July 1990, Nash purchased an IRIS Graphics 3047 inkjet printer for $126,000 and set it up in a small carriage house in Manhattan Beach, California near Los Angeles. David Coons and Steve Boulter used it to print an even larger November 1990 show of Nash's work for Parco Stores in Tokyo. The show entitled Sunlight on Silver was a series of 35 celebrity portraits by Nash which were 3 feet by 4 feet in an edition of 50 prints per image, a total of 1,750 images.{{cite web|url=http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0105/nash_intro.htm |title=Nash Editions: Fine Art Printing on the Digital Frontier, by Garrett White |publisher=digitaljournalist.org |access-date=20 October 2011}}Masayoshi Yamada, Graham Nash Photographs: Sunlight on Silver, Parco Co.

In 1991, Nash agreed to fund Mac Holbert to start a fine art digital-based printing company using the IRIS Graphics 3047 printer sitting in Nash's Manhattan Beach, California carriage house. Holbert retired as road manager for Crosby, Stills and Nash so that he could run the company. It opened its doors on 1 July 1991 with the name of Nash Editions Ltd. Early employees included David Coons, John Bilotta and a serigraphic print maker named Jack Duganne. They worked to further adapt the IRIS printer to fine art printing, experimenting with ink sets to try to overcome the fast-fading nature of IRIS prints, and even going as far as sawing off part of the print heads so they could be moved back to clear thicker printing paper stocks (voiding the $126,000 machine's warranty).{{cite web |url=http://www.photography.org/interviews/holbert.php |title=The Center for Photographic Art, Interview, Mac Holbert, September 2004 |publisher=photography.org |access-date=20 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008001336/http://www.photography.org/interviews/holbert.php |archive-date=8 October 2011 }} Nash and Holbert decided to call their fine art prints "digigraphs" although Jack Duganne coined the name "Giclée" for these type of prints.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Dq3Xj8zEYMIC&q=giclee+prints+produced+on+epson&pg=PA11 |title=Mastering Digital Printing|page=11 |isbn=9781592004317 |access-date=20 October 2011|last1=Johnson |first1=Harald |year=2005 |publisher=Thomson Course Technology }} The company is still in operation and currently uses Epson-based large format printers.

In 2005, Nash donated the original IRIS Graphics 3047 printer and Nash Editions ephemera to the National Museum of American History, a Smithsonian Institution.

Nash was married to his first wife, Rose Eccles, from 1964 until 1966. As part of an inside joke, her surname inspired the 1968 song "Jennifer Eccles", and a jocular verse about Jennifer Eccles was also included in the 1968 song "Lily the Pink". {{anchor|Susan Sennett}}Nash was married to his second wife, actress Susan Sennett,{{cite web |title=Susan Sennett |url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/174184%7C0/Susan-Sennett |website=tcmdb |access-date=4 February 2023 |language=en}} from 1978 until he left her for artist Amy Grantham in 2016.{{cite news |last1=Hattenstone |first1=Simon |date=4 May 2022 |title=Graham Nash: Most of the sad songs are about my relationship with Joni Mitchell |work=irishtimes.com |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/graham-nash-most-of-the-sad-songs-are-about-my-relationship-with-joni-mitchell-1.4869193 |access-date=4 February 2023}} Sennett, the mother of his three now-adult children, divorced Nash in 2016{{cite magazine |last=Browne |first=David |date=30 August 2016 |title=Graham Nash Talks Life After Divorce, CSNY's Future |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/graham-nash-talks-life-after-divorce-csnys-future-250826/ |url-status=live |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308152014/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/graham-nash-talks-life-after-divorce-csnys-future-250826/ |archive-date=8 March 2021}} and died of cancer in September 2020.{{cite news |title=Graham Nash Drops New Live Album, Estranged From His Children |url=https://nowdecatur.com/2022/05/05/graham-nash-drops-new-live-album-estranged-from-his-children/ |access-date=4 February 2023 |work=NowDecatur.com |date=5 May 2022 |language=en}}{{cite news |last1=Hattenstone |first1=Simon |title='There was an enormous amount of drugs being taken': Graham Nash on groupies, feuds, divorce and ego |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/may/03/graham-nash-on-families-joni-mitchell-and-toxic-masculinity-if-you-could-kill-putin-would-you-i-would |access-date=5 February 2023 |work=The Guardian |date=3 May 2022}}{{cite news |title=When Boomer Men We Love Behave Badly |url=https://observer.com/2016/01/when-boomer-men-we-love-behave-badly/ |access-date=5 February 2023 |work=Observer |date=13 January 2016}} After moving to New York City, Nash married Grantham in April 2019.{{cite web |url=https://www.srqfm.com/music-news/graham-nash-marries-girlfriend-amy-grantham/ |title=Graham Nash Marries Girlfriend Amy Grantham - WSRQ LECOM |website=www.srqfm.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200530062623/https://www.srqfm.com/music-news/graham-nash-marries-girlfriend-amy-grantham/ |archive-date=30 May 2020 |url-status=dead}}

Nash released an autobiography in September 2013 called Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life, published by Crown Publishing. Photographs that he took during his career are on display as an art collection at the San Francisco Art Exchange. In interviews pertaining to both the memoir and art exhibit, he mentioned the impact of Canadian-American musician Joni Mitchell, with whom he had a relationship between 1968 and 1970 in California. He also had a brief relationship with American musician Rita Coolidge, as had his bandmate Stephen Stills.{{cite news| last =Italie| first =Hillel| title =Graham Nash: Rock star's memoir recalls the early days of his career| newspaper =Edmonton Journal and the Associated Press| location =Edmonton, Canada| date =20 September 2013| url =https://edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Neil+Young+selfish+Graham+Nash/8937054/story.html| access-date =21 September 2013| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20131003113011/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Neil+Young+selfish+Graham+Nash/8937054/story.html| archive-date =3 October 2013| df =dmy-all}}{{cite news| last =Aidin| first =Vaziri| title =Folk rocker Graham Nash strums 'charmed life' tune| newspaper =San Francisco Chronicle online (SF Gate). | location =San Francisco| publisher = Hearst Newspapers| date =20 September 2013 | url =http://www.sfgate.com/music/article/Folk-rocker-Graham-Nash-strums-charmed-life-tune-4830942.php| access-date =21 September 2013}}{{cite news| last =James | first =Endrst| title =Graham Nash recalls big dreams and 'Wild Tales' | newspaper =USA Today | publisher =Gannet | date =16 September 2013 | url =https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2013/09/16/wild-tales-graham-nash-review/2820767/| access-date =21 September 2013}}
