Biography

Stephen Arthur Stills is an American guitarist and best known for his work with the Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Stephen Stills was born in Dallas, Texas on January 3, 1945 to a military family. Moving around as a child, he developed an interest in blues and folk music. He was also influenced by after spending his teenage years in Costa Rica and the Panama Canal Zone, where he graduated from high school.

Stills dropped out of the University of Florida to pursue a music career in the early 1960s. He played in a series of unsuccessful bands including The Continentals, which featured future The Eagles guitarist Don Felder. Stills eventually ended up in a nine-member vocal harmony group, the house act at the famous Cafe Au Go Go in NYC, called the Au Go Go Singers (Rick Geiger, Roy Michaels, Michael Scott, Jean Gurney, Kathy King, Nels Gustafson, Bob Harmelink, Richie Furay & Stills) where and when he met Richie Furay. This group also did some touring in the Catskills, and in the South, released one album in 1964, then broke up in 1965. Afterwards, Stills, along with four other former members of the Au Go Go Singers: Geiger, Michaels, Gurney & Scott, formed The Company, a folk/rock group. Immediately prior to performing in the Au Go Go Singers, Stills could be seen singing solo in Gerde’s Folk City, a well-known coffee house in Greenwich Village. The Company embarked on a 6-week tour of Canada where Stills met a young guitarist named Neil Young.

    Oddly I think his solo work is far inferior to Graham Nash's or Neil Young's solo work, or his CSN(Y)-stuff.

    Stephen topped Dylan and Paul Simon as the best American songwriter. He was the US version of Lennon [2]

    Stephen Stills deserves more recognition than he gets. In my book he's a giant. Manassas is my favorite album.

    I absolutely love the music of Stephen Stills. My photo icon is from my piece in the audience in the video from the Supershow concert in 1969. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supershow
