David Crosby and his Sky Trails band have just rolled out three Eastern dates supporting alternative-Southern rockers Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit. The new shows now on the books are June 4th at Vienna, Virginia's Wolf Trap and June 5th and 6th at New York City's Rooftop at Pier 17. “Croz” has also signed on for a June 20th appearance at the Lockn' Music Festival Arrington, Virginia.
Although David Crosby tends to keep politics out of his live shows — at least during the between-song banter — he told us that he doesn't believe everyone is corrupt or on the take in the Congress: “There are a few. (The) law of averages says there have to be a couple of human beings in congress who are human beings, who are conscious. But extremely few. Most of them are there for the power and the money and that's why they stay. And that's what they're there for. And they're not there to represent you. I am willing to bet you anything you want that there is no one in Washington, D.C. representing you.”
