Jim Messina – half of the soft rock duo Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins – is an undisputed expert in the fine art of making hit music. Messina’s legacy spans five decades, three super groups, a vibrant solo career, and countless producing and engineering credits.While acting as producer/audio engineer for Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Buffalo Springfield, Messina joined the band as its bass player. After they disbanded, Jim and fellow bandmate Richie Furay formed Poco. With Jim on lead guitar, Poco defined a new musical genre, Country Rock.
Three successful Poco albums later, Messina signed as an independent producer with Columbia Records, where he was paired to work with Kenny Loggins. Over the next seven years, Loggins & Messina released eight hit albums, including dozens of hit songs, and sold over 16 million albums.
Now, nearly 50 years after first stepping into the studio with Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay to engineer Buffalo Springfield, Jim Messina is hitting the road with his band of acclaimed musicians to tell the stories and sing the songs that made Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and Loggins & Messina, iconic American groups.
