pioneering member of the innovative and musically significant
West Coast folk-rock sound of the 60’s, David Crosby’s career is
a rich mosaic of noteworthy artistic experiences and culturally
influential chance happenings. The iconic member of the The
Byrds and Crosby, Stills, & Nash, like many of his
contemporaries, became part of a generation characterized by
tremendous creativity, social change, and relentless self-
destruction brought on by drugs, alcohol, and a defiant, anti-
establishment mentality.    Born in Los Angeles, California,
David grew up in a highly artistic and creative household. The
second son of Aliph Van Cortlandt Whitehead and Academy Award
winning cinematographer, Floyd Crosby, he is the younger brother
of Ethan Crosby, a fellow musician of lesser fame. David grew up
in Los Angeles, but moved between schools until his graduation,
never excelling academically. Howev
