On Sunday, November 16th, Deja Vu brings that same spirit of intimacy and authenticity to Alvas Showroom for a truly special, all-acoustic performance.
This unique show strips the music down to its roots—pure vocal harmony and acoustic guitars—showcasing the intricate arrangements, warm textures, and heartfelt lyrics that made CSN&Y legends. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering this timeless music for the first time, you’ll be transported by unplugged renditions of classics like:
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes • Teach Your Children • Guinnevere • Old Man • Helplessly Hoping • Just a Song Before I Go • Love the One You’re With • Deja Vu • Southern Man • Wasted on the Way – and many, many more.
