David Crosby

From the December issue of the Montecito Journal in Santa Barbara, California where he grew up.

David Crosby passed in January of 2023 joining the historical ranks of foundational American Folk Artist. Born in L.A. and raised in Santa Barbara Crosby attended Crane School, Laguna Blanca, and Carpinteria High School ultimately dropping out of Santa Barbara City College to join Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, Michael Clark, and Chris Hillman in the Byrds.

After David’s split with the Byrds in 1967 a chance meeting with Graham Nash in Laurel Canyon would lead to the formation of Crosby, Nash, Stills, and Young. Impassioned by his love of music to the very end Crosby died in his sleep from Covid complications during preparations for a tour. He was 81

I worked at the Trident from 1974 to 1976 when it was temporarily closed before reopening almost a year later with a new crew & menu. The era covered here is 1966 to 1980 when the Trident was "Magic!" Mark Danforth Lomas 805.845.2888 MDLomas@gmail.com
