Step into a time machine and rediscover the legendary sounds of the 70s with Wooden Horse, New England’s premier musical experience. As the nation’s only dual tribute show dedicated to the musical catalogs of both America and Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young, Wooden Horse delivers a masterclass in nostalgia that you won't find anywhere else.
Capturing the essence of these iconic acts requires more than just instruments; it requires a vocal chemistry that is rare to find. This powerhouse six-piece ensemble rises to the occasion, faithfully recreating the intricate, sun-soaked harmonies and lush arrangements that defined a generation. From the breezy, acoustic gallop of "Ventura Highway" to the complex, multi-movement masterpiece "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," every note is handled with surgical precision and soulful authenticity.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the "Sister Golden Hair" era or a devotee of the "Teach Your Children" spirit, Wooden Horse offers a seamless journey through some of the greatest chart-topping hits in music history.
Don’t miss your chance to see the only show that brings the spirit of these two legendary bands together for one unforgettable experience.
