David Crosby, founding member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Byrds, is gearing up to release his newest studio album, Here If You Listen, due out on October 26th via BMG. The album is in collaboration with Snarky Puppy’s Michael League, Becca Stevens, and Michelle Willis, who will also all join him on tour this fall as the Lighthouse Band. The Lighthouse Band also recorded and toured with Crosby for his 2016 album, Lighthouse.
“If leaving a group like Crosby, Stills & Nash was like jumping off a cliff, then finding the Lighthouse Band was like growing wings halfway down,” Crosby said in a statement. “These three people are so startlingly talented, I literally couldn’t resist making this album with them.”
According to the press release, Here If You Listen is a “purposeful departure from [2016’s] Lighthouse…It emerges as a highly collaborative effort, with all four artists trading off lead vocals and bringing their distinct songwriting to the mix.”
Produced by Michael League and co-produced by Crosby, Willis, and Stevens, Here If You Listen is the follow up to Crosby’s 2017 Sky Trails. Listen to the newly released single, “Vagrants Of Venice”, ahead of Here If You Listen’s October 26th release. Listen to it here:
