An Evening with Jim Messina and POCO

A Music Hall/Music Without Borders Co-presentation, supported by WFUV
Poco and Jim Messina return to perform in a double bill at the Music Hall.  This is a rare chance to see these two iconic bands on the same night, performing the hits for which they are best known. For more than 50 years, Poco’s distinctive harmonies and stellar musicianship helped define the sound of country-rock. Still led by the band co-founder and multi-instrumentalist who wrote and sang their biggest hits, they are a dedicated unit of four formidable songwriters, vocalists, arrangers and players. As one half of Loggins & Messina, co-founder of Poco and key contributor to Buffalo Springfield, Jim Messina has left an indelible footprint on popular music. He produced much of the Loggins & Messina, Poco and Buffalo Springfield albums.

Jim Messina and Poco will perform in a double bill.  This is a rare chance to see these two iconic bands on the same night, performing the hits for which they are best known.

Messina, half of Loggins & Messina, a founding member of Poco and a member of Buffalo Springfield, brings his current band to perform songs from throughout his career. He co-wrote many of Loggins & Messina’s hits including "Your Mama Don’t Dance", "Angry Eyes", and "Peace of Mind". Messina also wrote Poco’s "You Better Think Twice" and "Follow Your Dreams" among others. His latest album is In the Groove, which includes Rusty Young as a special guest.

Poco, formed following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968, is one of the first and longest-lasting country-rock groups. Over the years, Poco has had several critically acclaimed albums. Fifty years after Poco was formed, founding member Rusty Young, who introduced massive hits "Crazy Love" and "Call It Love", still leads this incredible band. Other hits include "Heart of The Night", "Spellbound", "Keep on Tryin'", and "Good Feelin’ To Know". Poco’s last studio CD, All Fired Up received stellar reviews.
