SAN DIEGO — 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.
“It sure seems that way!” said the veteran singer-songwriter, who co-headlines the 2022 “Carols by Candlelight” children's hospital fundraising concerts Friday and Saturday at California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
That Furay’s solo career received two reboots, not just one, in San Diego is all the more intriguing because the two are entirely unconnected and occurred more than a quarter-century apart.
