As a songwriter and prolific music producer, Jim Messina’s career has filled decades with many hits and favorites from several different but equally loved bands. In the late 1960s, Jim Messina was the recording engineer/producer/bass player for Buffalo Springfield featuring Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay. After Buffalo Springfield disbanded in 1968, Jim co-founded Poco with Richie Furay and Rusty Young, one of the original and most influential country/rock bands. In 1970, he left Poco to concentrate on record producing and soon met a young singer/songwriter named Kenny Loggins, producing the records Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina – Sittin’ In. Loggins & Messina went on to release nine albums together, amassing sales of over 14 million units. Enjoy a night of hits from Poco, Buffalo Springfield, and Loggins & Messina in an intimate theatre!
