Maeson, a Virginia-born, Nashville-based artist, is known for transforming personal struggles and introspection into emotionally driven alternative music.

Nash, a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will deliver a career-spanning performance covering more than six decades of music. His set will include work from his time with The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, along with his solo catalog.

Tickets for Nash’s show range from $47 to $95, with VIP seating packages available from $195 to $345. Each ticket includes a $1 donation to a charity selected by the artist.
