Graham Nash was a fitting grand finale to close out our 36th season - and Mother Nature understood the assignment, making sure the rain stopped just in time for our legendary finale.

It rained all day, right up until showtime. It was the biggest audience of the season, and it didn't matter if you knew the song or if it was one of his mega hits - Graham Nash's performance captured the crowd. It was an audience of music lovers seeing a legend play a set that was personal, intimate, and powerful.

Thank you, Graham Nash, for giving us a night we won't forget. And thank you to every one of you who came out to make this season what it was.

A legendary end to a legendary season.
