Some songs refuse to age. They carry the weight of the world they were born into and still find their way into the present, arriving exactly when you need them. "Our House." "Ohio." "Helpless." "Teach Your Children." These were not merely songs. They were a generation's reckoning with itself, set to the most achingly beautiful harmonies popular music has ever produced.The CSNY Experience brings that legacy back to café Roux for an evening that honours the full, luminous sweep of it. Jono Tait, Nick Catto, and Matt Catto bring three voices and a shared devotion to music that still matters. What they offer is not imitation. It is something rarer: a genuine love for these songs, expressed with the kind of musicianship that makes you forget to breathe.
Jono Tait is a guitarist, songwriter, and a musician whose life has moved through classical training, jazz, choral singing, and the kind of accumulated experience that cannot be taught. It has to be lived. That depth is audible in every note he plays. It gives the music its gravity and its grace.
Nick and Matt Catto are brothers who grew up inside music. They come from the Blundell folk dynasty, a lineage where harmony was not learned from a textbook but absorbed through barn dances, family singalongs, and folk luminaries passing through the living room. Nick holds the low end with a bassist's steadiness and a vocalist's sensitivity. Matt carries the rhythmic pulse and a harmonic instinct shaped by a lifetime of listening for what lies underneath the melody. When their voices find each other, something happens that cannot be manufactured. It was simply always there.
Together, the three of them trace a journey from a kitchen in Laurel Canyon in 1968 to a half-million people at Woodstock, through protest and tenderness and the stubborn, shining belief that music could change something. The show moves through the catalogue with intimacy and intention. Stories are told. Harmonies are built from the ground up. The songs are given the time and care they have always deserved.
This is not a show where musicians pretend to be someone else. It is one where musicians who love this music simply let it speak.
Come be part of the harmony.
"Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice, but to carry on."
