\n Poco was one of the first groups to pioneer Country-Rock music. The harmonies and instruments of Country mixed with Rock'n'Roll rhy thms\, paved the way for supergroups like the Eagles and while hits for Po co were few\, their influence runs deep in both Country and Pop music. Ric hie Furay and Jim Messina formed Poco after Buffalo Springfield broke up i n 1968 when Stephen Stills and Neil Young left the group.
\n\n Throu
ghout the 90’s and first decade of 2000 Poco\, led by Rusty Young\, Paul C
otton and Jack Sundrud with the additon of drummer George Lawrence continu
ed to be a recording and touring force logging in 100 shows a year. In add

“Keeping The Legend Alive” in 2005\, “Bareback At Big Sky” in 2006 and an
unplugged CD: “The Wildwood Sessions” in 2007.
\n In 2010\, a n
ew Poco era dawned led by Rusty Young\, Jack Sundrud and George Lawrence w

rity and the new incarnation will continue to be musically superior with a
foot in the past\, present and future. As Rusty Young says\, “Hang on\, t
