*OLD MAN*

*THE NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE*

(“Neil Percival Young”, OC OM (born November 12, 1945), is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, producer, director, and screenwriter)

Young began performing in a group covering Shadows instrumentals in Canada in 1960.

In 1966, after a brief stint with the Rick James-fronted “Mynah Birds”, he moved to Los Angeles, where he formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, and others.

Young had released two solo albums by the time he joined Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969, in addition to two as a member of Buffalo Springfield.

From his early solo albums and those with his backing band Crazy Horse, Young has recorded a steady stream of studio and live albums, sometimes warring with his recording company along the way.

Young’s often distorted electric guitar work, deeply personal lyricsand signature tenor singing voice transcend his long career.

Young also plays piano and harmonica on many albums which frequently combine folk, rock, blues and other musical styles.

Known to rip up live set lists, Young often plays acoustic versions of songs in one show and electric versions in others.

(his gritty guitar work, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname “Godfather of Grunge” and led to his 1995 album “Mirror Ball” with ‘Pearl Jam’)

(more recently Young has been backed by “Promise of the Real”)

(Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey, including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), and CSNY/DΓ©jΓ  Vu (2008))

(he also contributed to the soundtracks of the films Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995))

(‘Young’ has received several ‘Grammy’ and ‘Juno’ awards)

(the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” inducted him twice: as a solo artist in 1995 and in 1997 as a member of “Buffalo Springfield”)

(in 2000, Rolling Stone named Young the 34th greatest rock ‘n roll artist)

(he has lived in California since the 1960s but retains Canadian citizenship)

.

(he was awarded the “order of manitoba” on ’14 july 2006′ and was made an “officer of the order of canada” on ’30 december 2009′)
