Stills and Collins met 50 years ago, and began a love affair that would later be immortalized by Stills with his composition “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash. The two icons of folk will celebrate the golden anniversary of their time together on their upcoming tour, which marks the first time they have been on stage together. The set list will include songs from each artist’s catalog, plus new songs from their upcoming album.

Stills and Collins will also share stories from their journeys and the 1960s folk and Laurel Canyon scenes they helped build.

Stills is known for his work with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and his solo work. In addition to “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” Still is best known for the hits “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield and “Love The One You’re With” from his solo debut.

Collins is known for her eclectic palette as a solo artist, melding folk, rock, classical and jazz into a singular aesthetic. She’s earned five Grammy nominations, including one in 2017, and one Grammy win. Outside of music, Collins has published two memoirs and one novel.
