Crosby, Stills and Nash to play Fantasy Springs Resort Casino

Judith Salkin • The Desert Sun

Crosby, Stills and Nash are scheduled to make their Coachella Valley debut at 8 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.

Tickets for the concert are priced at $49, $69 and $79 and are on sale now through the casino box office and online through Tickets.com.

Depending on whether you talk to David Crosby and Graham Nash, who claim that they started singing together at Joni Mitchell's home, or Stephen Stills, who claims it was at Mama Cass Elliott's, the trio has been a driving force in American music starting in 1969.

They are known for tight harmonies and intricate lyrics. Both Stephen Stills and David Crosby have played solo concerts in Palm Springs and Indio, but this will be the first time the trio will perform together.

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is in Indio at 84-245 Indio Springs Parkway.
