Famed guitarist Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield and Poco will be performing at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia on Monday, November 7th at 7pm with a full band.
The renowned guitarist has been busy the since the demise of both Buffalo Springfield and Poco with a series of solo albums and reunion shows with both bands in recent years. Today, Furay is writing and performing with the Richie Furay band: Aaron Selle, Alalen Lempke, Jesse Furay Lynch, and Scott Sellen. Their live shows span Richie’s rich musical history and recreates some of the country rock legend’s best work, “Kind Woman,” “A Good Feelin’ to Know,” “A Child’s Claim to Fame,” and “Crazy Eyes”.... just to name a few.
Buffalo Springfield formed in 1967 with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin. Their debut album included the hit single “For What It’s Worth.” The band went on to record two more albums before disbanding in 1968. They are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After Buffalo Springfield, Furay formed POCO, one of the first “country-rock” hybrid bands whose members throughout the years consisted of Jim Messina, Rusty Young, George Grantham, Randy Meisner, and Paul Cotton. Poco recorded 6 albums with Furay at the helm, including the classics “Pickin’ Up The Pieces” and “A Good Feeling To Know.” POCO’s unique sound set the stages for bands like The Eagles as well as the “rock” music that now dominates the modern country music market of the 21st Century.
Since Furay’s three solos albums in the 70’s, he has released two excellent inspiration albums, “In My Father’s House” and “I Am Sure.” Additionally in 2006, “Heartbeat Of Love” was Richie Furay’s first general market album in 3 decades. Former band mates, Neil Young and Stephen Stills, Rusty Young, Paul Cotton, Timothy B. Schmidt as well as Kenny Loggins and The Turtles’ Mark Volman are guests on the collection.
