Graham Nash Announces New Album, Book, and Documentary Ahead of 2026 Tour
Graham Nash, the 84‑year‑old singer‑songwriter and founding member of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), has announced a prolific year of creative output. In a press release issued on September 11, 2026, Nash confirmed that his forthcoming solo album, This Path Tonight, will be his first in 14 years and that he is also working on a memoir and a documentary directed by Robert Zemeckis.
The new album, slated for release in early 2027, marks Nash’s return to solo work after the 2013 record Now. The 74‑year‑old musician said the project will blend acoustic and electric textures, underscoring his long‑standing commitment to songwriting that tackles contemporary themes. The title track, “ICE,” was previewed in a recent interview and is set to become a single in the spring.
Alongside the record, Nash is preparing a memoir titled Life and Light, which will chronicle decades of touring, songwriting, and photography. Drawing on the same archive that appeared in his 2021 photo book A Life in Focus, the memoir aims to share “moments of my life with people” and provide context for the songs that have defined his career.
The documentary, also in development, will focus on CSN and is directed by Robert Zemeckis, known for Forrest Gump and Back to the Future. The film will feature previously unreleased tracks discovered by photographer and archivist Joel Bernstein, and will be accompanied by a companion soundtrack containing the 35 unearthed tracks. While a release date has not yet been announced, the project is expected to debut in the spring of 2028.
Nash’s touring schedule will kick off with a series of New England shows in September. He will perform in Northampton on September 12 and in Lowell on September 13, followed by a 20‑date fall tour that will run through October. The tour will span venues from the Northeast to Florida and will conclude with two summer dates in Colorado. The announcement was made on March 25, 2026, and the dates were added to the artist’s official website and ticketing partners.
The 84‑year‑old has been a central figure in American rock since the late 1960s. He left the British pop group the Hollies in 1968 to join forces with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, forming CSN. The trio added Neil Young in 1969, creating Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY), and the group performed at Woodstock in August 1969. CSN and CSNY released six studio albums, with the 1970 album Déjà Vu selling over eight million copies worldwide.
Nash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: first as a member of the Hollies in 2010 and later as part of CSN in 1997. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2010 for services to music and charity. In addition to his music career, Nash has built a reputation as a photographer, publishing several photo books and pioneering digital image printing.
The combination of new studio work, literary output, and a high‑profile documentary, coupled with a comprehensive touring schedule, positions Nash as one of the most active veteran artists in the industry today. Fans and industry observers will be watching closely as the projects unfold over the next two years.
