Rising from the ashes of Buffalo Springfield, Poco was founded in 1967
by Rusty Young, Richie Furay, George Grantham and Jim Messina. Over
the next five decades, alongside band mates that would also include
Paul Cotton, Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmit, Rusty became not
only the musical core of the band, but also the writer and vocalist
behind hits including ‘Rose Of Cimarron’ and the #1 smash “Crazy
Love’. “I made a promise to myself that Poco would only keep going
if we remained a band of real musicians who were having fun,” Rusty
says. “Because audiences can tell the difference.” For the
band’s legion of longtime fans - known as ‘Poconuts’ - as well
as new converts, it’s Poco’s live performances where their
newfound attitude and energy truly goes next level. “We challenge
each other every time we’re onstage,” says Rusty, “which means
that no two shows are ever alike. Between Michael and I, we play 10
different instruments and are able to open up some musically
adventurous journeys.” Sponsored by Jackson National Life Presented
