Crosby, Stills and Nash - A Hat Trick for Accent on Cincinnati
Cincinnati, OH
July 2007
As leading producers of headline talent, it was no surprise that Accent on Cincinnati, Ohio's premiere meeting and special event planners, returned to Empire Entertainment for a third year in a row for their entertainment needs. Expectations were high for their biggest insurance conference of the year. It was an exciting challenge to find an act to top past headliners including Glenn Frey and Hall & Oates. Of the thousands of shows Empire has produced, this event finally presented the perfect opportunity to unite legendary performers David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash on the corporate stage. But Accent on Cincinnati still kept their conference attendees guessing…The house went dark at the Aronoff Center. Guests were sitting at the edges of their seats, still wondering who they were about to see. As the client, Joe Rigotti departed the stage, out walked three icons in music history and the crowd sprang to their feet, erupting in cheers. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Crosby, Stills and Nash kept the audience on their feet, dancing and swaying to 90 minutes of their greatest hits; the energy in the room was incredible. Their set featured songs including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Marrakesh Express", "Wooden Ships", "Long Time Gone" and "Helpless Hoping." The audience, captivated by the sweet harmonies of CSN, would not let them leave the stage without a 3-song encore.
