More on the Show:
Some songs don't just belong to the past. They live in the body. They surface at unexpected moments, pulling you back to something true.
"Teach Your Children." "Ohio." "Our House." "Helpless." These weren't just songs; they were a generation's conscience set to harmony.
The CSNY Experience returns to The Alma Café for an evening that honours the full sweep of that legacy. Jono Tait, Nick Catto, and Matt Catto bring deep musical roots, genuine reverence, and three voices that blend the way the originals always insisted voices should: with feeling first, and ego nowhere in sight.
More on the Artists:
Jono Tait is a guitarist, songwriter, and the heartbeat behind The Alma Café itself. His musical life spans classical training, jazz, choral singing, and a long career that has moved through darkness and light with equal honesty. That breadth of lived experience is what you hear when he plays. It gives the music its weight.
Nick and Matt Catto are brothers, and they sound like it. They come from the Blundell musical folk dynasty, a lineage where harmony wasn't taught so much as absorbed. Barn dances, family singalongs, folk luminaries passing through the living room: this was their upbringing, and it shows in every note. Nick anchors the sound as a bassist and vocalist; Matt holds the rhythmic pulse and the harmonic instinct of someone who has spent a lifetime listening for the space between the notes.
When their voices lock together, you hear something that cannot be rehearsed. 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, heartbreak, and the stubborn, shining hope that made CSN&Y more than a band. The show moves through the catalogue with intimacy and intention, harmonies built from the ground up, stories told with warmth and honesty.
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.
“Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice, but to carry on.”
