David Crosby & Sky Trails Band at Red Rock Resort Ballroom

As detailed in the new documentary Remember My Name, 78-year-old singer-songwriter David Crosby is in the midst of one of the most prolific periods in his storied career. He has released four albums in five years and is working on a fifth, and he’ll play a lot of that new music (along with Byrds and CSN classics, of course) at his Vegas tour stop Friday night.

“It’s a combination of stuff,” Crosby tells the Weekly of his recent output. “When we were doing the first [album] in this series, I was coming out of CSN. We were no longer friends, and what happened was I left and it was like diving off a cliff. And then it was like growing wings halfway down the cliff.”

Crosby continued to work with his son James Raymond and started collaborating with Snarky Puppy leader Michael League. “That joy of finding people really committed to making music who were not stuck just trying to make the maximum amount of money really inspired me. I’m happy, so I’m writing, and being with these people is a gift from heaven.” September 13, 8 p.m., $34-$64. –Brock Radke
