An entertaining lecture-concert covering the fascinating history of this iconic Canadian, with live performances of his greatest hits.
Neil Young is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters of all time. From his early years in Winnipeg and Toronto, to his breakthrough as a member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, to his successful solo career alone and with his band Crazy Horse, Neil Young has written some of the most indelible songs of our time: "Heart Of Gold," "Old Man," "Harvest Moon" and "After The Goldrush."
Mike Daley Presents: The Neil Young Story is a lecture-concert combining 'unplugged' renditions of Neil's classic hit songs with Dr. Mike's fascinating story of his life and career. Along with Mike's narration, guitar and vocals, Will Reid contributes bass and vocals, Greg Wyard plays guitar and sings, and Jill Daley plays piano and violin.
Neil Young's unique performing style and haunting songs have taken him from the teen clubs of Winnipeg to the coffeehouses of Yorkville, from Sunset Strip nightclubs to sold-out stadiums. Through it all, he has stubbornly followed his musical vision, creating a body of work so distinctive that he has practically forged his own genre: Neil Young Music. Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Neil Young Story is a loving tribute to Neil and his music.
The latest in a monthly series that has included sold-out lecture-concerts on Simon and Garfunkel, Carole King, the Beatles and Gordon Lightfoot, Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The Neil Young Story is a must-see for any music fan.
