Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) were a folk rock supergroup formed in 1969 by David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young.

Bringing together members of The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies, the quartet became one of the defining acts of the late 1960s and early 1970s through their rich vocal harmonies, socially conscious songwriting and blend of folk, rock and country influences. Their landmark albums ‘Déjà Vu’ and ‘4 Way Street’, alongside the trio’s debut as Crosby, Stills & Nash, helped establish CSNY as one of the era’s most influential groups.

Closely associated with the counterculture movement and the Woodstock generation, the band’s music has left an enduring legacy on folk rock, singer-songwriters and American rock music.
