Short Bio

Neil Young, born Neil Percival Young on November 12, 1945, in Toronto, Canada, is the quintessential musical nomad, traversing genres from rock to folk to grunge with a harmonica in his pocket and a guitar slung over his shoulder. Known for his distinctive voice and profound lyrics, Young's journey from the snowy landscapes of Canada to the sunny hills of California has been nothing short of epic.

As a founding member of Buffalo Springfield and a key figure in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, he became the poster child for the restless spirit of the '60s and '70s. Yet, it's his solo career, with heart-stirring tracks like "Heart of Gold," that truly showcases his ability to connect with the wandering souls of every generation.

Always flannel-clad and ever the advocate for high-quality sound (hello, Pono player), Neil Young is the cool uncle of rock who has seen it all and lived to tell the tales, preferably by a campfire with a guitar in hand.
