Timeline

1944

Paul Richard Furay (born May 9, 1944) is an American musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member (with Buffalo Springfield).

He is best known for forming the bands Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin, and Poco with Jim Messina, Timothy B. Schmit, Rusty Young, George Grantham and Randy Meisner.

His best known song (originally written during his tenure in Buffalo Springfield, but eventually performed by Poco as well) was "Kind Woman," which he wrote for his wife, Nancy.

Before joining Buffalo Springfield, Furay performed with Stills in the nine-member group, the Au Go Go Singers (Furay, Roy Michaels, Rick Geiger, Jean Gurney, Michael Scott, Kathy King, Nels Gustafson, Bob Harmelink, and Stills), the house band of the Cafe Au Go Go in New York City.

1960

In the late 1960s, he formed the country rock band Poco with Jim Messina (who produced albums and occasionally played bass for Buffalo Springfield) and Rusty Young.

The band, while influential to many future country rock acts, experienced uneven commercial success.

Furay's best-known songs, "Kind Woman", "Pickin' Up The Pieces", and "Good Feelin' To Know", however, have reached classic status and appear on many country rock compilations.

1971

The first set consisted of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Souther, Hillman & Furay Band and solo material, followed by a second set with the classic 1971 Poco live album "DeLIVErin'" being performed in its entirety.

A single, “I Guess You Made It”, was released on Furay's website (richiefuray.com).

1974

Furay left Poco in 1974 to form the Souther Hillman Furay Band.

During that time Al Perkins, the band's pedal steel guitar player, introduced Furay to Christianity.

His newfound faith helped him rebuild his troubled marriage.

Although Souther Hillman Furay Band's self-titled first album was certified Gold and yielded the top thirty hit with "Fallin' in Love" in 1974, the group could not follow up on that success, and poor record sales eventually led to its demise.

1976

After moving from Los Angeles to Sugarloaf Mountain near Boulder, Colorado, Furay formed The Richie Furay Band with Jay Truax, John Mehler, and Tom Stipe, releasing the album I've Got a Reason in 1976, which reflected Furay's newfound beliefs.

In support of the release of the album, Furay formed an alliance with David Geffen and Asylum Records.

Furay assured Geffen that his album would be Christian influenced but would not be an attempt to preach about his newfound beliefs.

I've Got a Reason did however, establish Furay as a pioneer in Christian rock.

Overall, his albums charted unsatisfactorily, and, compounded with the strain of touring wearing on him and his family, he retired as a performer to join the ministry.

1983

In 1983, Furay became senior pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Broomfield, Colorado, a non-sectarian Christian church in the Denver area.

1989

In 1989, Furay reunited with Poco to release an album entitled Legacy.

2006

In 2006 he released his album The Heartbeat of Love, and also toured as an opening act for America and Linda Ronstadt.

2007

In 2007, he toured with a new formation of the Richie Furay Band.

At the Boulder and Bluebird Theatres in Colorado, they recorded a double live album ALIVE.

The ALIVE set covers 29 songs of Furay's career.

2008

The Richie Furay band continued to tour through 2008 and 2009.

2009

Furay appeared with Poco for several shows in early 2009.

At the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California in 2009, Furay and the current Poco lineup were joined onstage by original members Jim Messina and George Grantham and former bass player Timothy B. Schmit.

2010

On October 23, 2010, he reunited with former Buffalo Springfield bandmates Stephen Stills and Neil Young for a set at the 24th annual Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.

2011

The reunion continued in 2011 for a one-month tour of California, headlining 2011 Bonnaroo.

In July 2011, Furay announced on his Facebook page that he would be touring with Buffalo Springfield in early 2012, ending speculation there would be a 2011 fall tour with them.

In 2011, Furay collaborated with the Piedmont Brothers Band as an occasional back-up vocalist on the album PBB III (2011).

2013

He appeared on the 2013 Carla Olson album, Have Harmony, Will Travel.

2018

The tour continued throughout the year, culminating with a Poco 50th Anniversary Celebration on November 16, 2018, at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, where Poco first performed in 1969.

Randy Meisner and Peter Asher were in the audience (Poco bandmate and longtime friend, Timothy B. Schmit performed with Furay.) Furay's Troubadour show was recorded and, in April, 2021, was released in both CD and DVD as DeLIVErin' Again (50th Anniversary: Return to the Troubadour).

In the same year, Furay released the single, "America, America" through his website.
