SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Art, photography, music and politics are all on the agenda as legendary singer-songwriter, fine art photographer, digital realm pioneer and activist Graham Nash makes a swing through Northern California this week. Nash's Northern California itinerary begins Wed., November 1 as he joins former President Bill Clinton, Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Congressman & DCCC Chairman Rahm Emmanuel for a 6PM event at S.F.'s historic Warfield Theatre. In an effort to win back the House through the Nov. 7 mid-term elections, the event will benefit the progressive Democratic congressional candidates who oppose the Iraq War.

Graham -- whose long history of passionate political, environmental and social activism has always been integrated into his music career -- will give a special performance on a bill also including Jackson Browne and Fred Martin & The Levite Camp. Clinton, Pelosi and Emmanuel will speak at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee-sponsored event. The Warfield is located at 982 Market Street in San Francisco; for tickets and information, contact the DCCC at 202-485-3501 or sfclintonevent@dccc.org.

On Thurs., November 2, Graham Nash dons his visual artist and cyber- visionary hats for two events related to Butte College's exhibition of his photographic work. At 2PM, Nash will speak at the school's innovative Digital Outdoor Gallery on their main Oroville, CA campus, where his photographs are to be displayed in newly installed, weatherized cases. The images were selected by Dennis Wickes, a Multimedia Department instructor and advisor for student organization Butte Art & Design (BAD); he conceived the show after seeing the museum exhibition Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash in Southern California in early '06. Earlier this year, Wickes also visited Nash Editions, revered for its pioneering inventions in digital fine art printing, which Graham co-founded in 1990 with Mac Holbert, who will be present as well. Situated equidistant between the cities of Chico, Paradise and Oroville, Butte College is located at 3536 Butte Campus Drive, Oroville, CA, 95965 (and online at www.butte.edu).

At 7PM on Nov. 2, Nash and Holbert will also attend a second reception -- open to the public -- at 222 2nd Street in downtown Chico, adjacent to Butte's 2nd Street Digital Outdoor Gallery. In addition to the eight images on view in Oroville -- including portraits of David Crosby, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Nash's self-portrait from the book cover of Eye To Eye -- five more will be on display outside at the 2nd Street Gallery, and seventeen more will be hung inside the reception space. For more information, contact Prof. Wickes' office at 530-895-2975.

Originally published in hardcover in 2004, the book Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash will be released as a softcover edition in Spring 2007 by Five Ties Publishing.
