Guitarist, songwriter and producer Jim Messina is a key figure in the history of country rock and the Southern California sound. After joining Buffalo Springfield for its final album and tour, he and bandmate Richie Furay formed Poco, setting the stage for the ’70s arena rock of the Eagles. He then teamed with Kenny Loggins to sell more than 16 million albums on the strength of hits such as “Danny’s Song,” “Your Mama Don’t Dance” and “Angry Eyes.” Now, after decades of acclaimed solo work, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is on the road sharing songs and stories from his half-century in music.
