STAGECOACH
TO REUNITE ALL FOUNDING AND CORE MEMBERS
The band’s current lineup is Rusty Young, Paul Cotton, Jack Sundrud and George Lawrence. This is the first time in over 20 years that all the core and founding members will be reunited.
“What can I say? The Stagecoach Festival ’09 is going to be an event,” Richie Furay says. “The headliners are terrific (as always), but for me, being able to take the Palomino Stage with my old friends Poco who started ‘country rock music’ back in 1968 is gonna be the highlight.”
Rusty Young commented, “The reunion with Richie Furay, Jimmy Messina, and Timothy B. Schmit at Stagecoach will celebrate Poco’s past, as well as its present. I’m glad everyone still feels the same commitment to our music, our friendships, and our fans that we had over forty years ago when Poco began. It should be a memorable day for everyone.”
