Thanks to Wavy Gravy and Crosby & Nash
On Saturday April 11th, Crosby & Nash performed a benefit concert for Seva at the Nourse Theatre in San Francisco. They put on an incredible show playing many of their classic tunes, Guinevere, Our House, Wind on the Water, Wooden Ships, Almost Cut My Hair and more, as well as a few sweet new songs. The audience was ecstatic, some saying it was the best Crosby Nash show they had ever seen.
Folk singer Joel Rafael, a good friend of Crosby & Nash’s opened the show performing a variety of his original tunes. Wavy Gravy was the host and spent the evening sitting on the side of the stage playing his ektar.
There was a magical feeling in the air, you could feel the love between the band and the audience and the connection that they have with Wavy Gravy. It’s Wavy’s big heart and his commitment to doing good work in the world that draws in the artists who perform our benefit concerts. Thanks to Wavy and Crosby & Nash, we raised $85,000 for Seva’s sight restoration programs around the world!
