Once again Grover’s Mill Coffee House presents a look at rock icons — this time it is the folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young (CSNY). The group’s more famous singles include “Teach Your Children,” “Ohio,” “Just a Song Before I Go,” and “This Old House.”
No, CSNY wil not appear in person, but area musicians will pay a tribute to the band and its songs on Saturday ,June 26, at Grover’s Mill Coffee House in West Windsor.
“We like to match the mood of the season to the music we are playing,” says Franc Gambatese, the organizer of the event and the owner of the coffee shop. “CSNY is light summer music.” The coffee house has already presented tributes to icons Bruce Springsteen, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan. Upcoming events planned will focus on the Grateful Dead and Simon and Garfunkel.
Musicians performing include West Windsor residents Chris Jankoski and Gambatese; Alex DeSimine, a student at High School North; John Masseo of Plainsboro; Greg Nease of East Windsor; the Riverside Jam Traveling Band; and Rodney and Eva Hargis of Hamilton Square.
The songlist will include: “Helplessly Hoping,” “Suite Judy Blue Eyes,” “Wooden Ships,” “Teach Your Children,” “Love the One You’re With,” “Ohio,” “Southern Cross,” “Guinnevere,” “Almost Cut My Hair,” “Our House,” “Find the Cost of Freedom,” “Mr. Soul,” “Simple Man,” “Right Between the Eyes,” “Heart of Gold,” “Man Needs a Maid,” “Cowgirl In the Sand,” “Down By the River,” “Cinnamon Girl,” “Wrecking Ball,” “Change Your Mind,” “Unknown Legend,” “For What It’s Worth,” and “Needle and the Damage Done.”
