Graham Nash has released an animated video for the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young anthem “Teach Your Children,” which Nash wrote. The political video, by New York-based filmmaker, animator and painter Jeff Scher, “parallels the social justice issues the U.S. faced in the 1960s with those it faces today,” says a press release. Nash has also announced a new batch of North American tour dates in fall 2018 as he continues to support his most recent studio album This Path Tonight (2016) and the June 29 release of Over the Years…, a two-disc collection of Nash’s best-known songs from the past 50 years and more than a dozen unreleased demos and mixes.

On tour, Nash will be accompanied by longtime collaborator and This Path Tonight producer Shane Fontayne on guitars and vocals, and former CSN keyboard player and vocalist, Todd Caldwell. Nash and friends will perform songs from his days in the Hollies through his years with Crosby, Stills and Nash and from his solo recordings, weaving anecdotes and tales from his 50-year career throughout the evening.

In addition to his solo tour, Nash will join Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne and others on the Lantern Tour’s New York City date at Town Hall. The Lantern Tour will benefit the Women’s Refugee Commission and their advocacy on behalf of migrant and refugee families seeking safety at the U.S. border.
Last fall, Nash received the Americana Music Association’s Spirit of Americana: Free Speech in Music Award at the group’s annual award show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
