His musical connection with the all-star San Diego band Back to the Garden has kicked off an exciting new chapter for both
Richie Furay has never lived in San Diego, but the 1997 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and co-founder of the pioneering bands Buffalo Springfield and Poco can credit the city for twice playing a key role in revitalizing his career.
Together, these two San Diego reboots serve as memorable bookends for the country-rock pioneer. His list of classic songwriting credits includes Buffalo Springfield’s “Kind Woman” and “A Child’s Claim to Fame,” Poco’s “A Good Feelin’ to Know” and “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” and The Souther-Hillman- Furay Band’s “Fallin’ in Love.”
An Ohio native, Furay was 8 when he got his first guitar. He was barely 20 when he joined the Cafe Au Go Go Singers folk-music group in New York City in 1964. Its lineup also included Stephen Stills, with whom Furay would re-team two years later in the acclaimed Los Angeles band Buffalo Springfield alongside Neil Young, Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer.
“With so many older musicians who came up in the 1960s, their singing skills may have diminished,” Intravaia noted. “And here’s Richie, at 78, sounding like he did in 1968!” The pioneering country-rock band Poco is shown in 1970.

Schmidt , Jim Messina , George Grantham, Richie Furay and Rusty Young.Furay was so hesitant to accept Weissberg’s offer to open for Stills at Humphreys that the promoter booked Byrds’ co-founder Chris Hillman, a former San Diegan, instead. When Furay belatedly agreed to play, Stills and Hillman happily reduced their performance times to accommodate Furay.
“Richie hadn’t played secular music in 10 or 15 years,” Weissberg said, speaking from his Point Loma home. Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay and the San Diego band Back to the Garden have a harmonious musical connection.

That reluctance continued until T.J. Klay — a San Diego musician who had worked with Furay — put in a good word for Back to the Garden and forwarded YouTube video clips of the band’s performances. “I think the best thing for him about us is that there are no hidden agendas. We’re not trying to get anything from him, or to meet people in the industry or get more gigs through him.
“Back to the Garden is so good that I can play songs of mine with them that I couldn’t with my previous band,” Furay said.
