Wooden Ships Band

Wooden Ships Band presents the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, providing lush vocal harmonies & arrangements that are true to the original recordings. We provide an energetic show that features three female vocalists who can seamlessly go from CSNY's rocking edge to their intimate acoustic material on command. The goal is to take listeners on a nostalgic trip to a time when strong melodies & heartfelt lyrics were the order of the day-not to mention rockin' dance grooves.
Wooden Ships Band fans continually express genuine "thanks" to us for returning them to the music of their youth. We are honored and exhilarated to perform the timeless music of CSNY!

A Tribute to Crosby, Stills & Nash
