Richie Furay is back, and he’s country-rockin it out at the Stagecoach Festival with the likes of Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Nickel Creek and a list of Country stars that blows your mind.
After over 20 years out of the mainstream music scene, Richie Furay has released a new album “Heartbeat of Love” that showcases the country-rock genre that Richie helped to forge back in the 60’s and 70’s. The new music features many of Richie’s comrades from back in the day including Steven Stills, Neil Young, Kenny Loggins, Chris Hillman and Richie’s daughter Jesse Furay Lynch.
Richie was part of the Stagecoach festival this past weekend which took place out in the dessert outside of Palm springs. What a show, and what a talented group Richie has put together. It’s become a family thing with Richie’s long-time musical collaborator Scott Sellen and Scott’s son Aaron along with drummer Alan Lempke, and Richie’s gorgeous daughter Jesse Furay Lynch singing the harmony licks that Richie was famous for with Buffalo Springfield and Poco; Jesse Lynch definitely has her pappa’s pipes and her pappa definitely still has his vocal prowess in tact. The two voices blend in a way that only amazing talent from the same gene pool could produce.
You can catch Richie and the band in his upcoming tour with ex Bird’s founding member, and Souther Hillman Furay cohort Chris Hillman. They put together a show that you don’t want to miss and it’s been a long time in coming!
