Nash, 81, was also a founding member of the Hollies.
He is a a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
This is Nash's first solo headline tour of Australia and New Zealand with a dozen performances in March 2024, including a two-day stop at the Port Fairy Folk Festival.
Performing songs from across his sixty-year career, Nash will be joined on stage by his long-time musical partners, Shane Fontayne (guitar and vocals) and Todd Caldwell (keyboards and vocals).
The classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Neil Young) yielded a tonne of classic songs, including Nash's Marrakesh Express, Pre-Road Downs and Lady of the Island from the first Crosby, Stills & Nash LP, and his iconic Teach Your Children and Our House from CSNY's Déjà Vu.
Nash's career as a solo artist took flight in 1971, with the release of his solo debut Song's For Beginners which included Chicago/We Can Change the World and Military Madness, and three compositions that reflect back on the storied breakup of Nash and Joni Mitchell, Better Days, I Used To Be A King, and Simple Man.
Nash also contributed the hits Just A Song Before I Go to (1977) and Wasted on the Way to Daylight Again (1982).
The 11-date tour, titled Sixty Years of Songs and Stories, includes The Sydney Opera House on March 19.
