Rock legend Poco will appear at the Stagecoach Country Music festival in Indio, Calif. this April, appearing together for the first time in two decades. Original Poco members Jim Messina and Richie Furay will join Rusty Young, Paul Cotton, Jack Sundrud and George Lawrence on stage for the first time since 1989.

"Poco has an unmistakable place in American music history," said Young, a founding member of the band. "It's a legacy that runs through Buffalo Springfield, Loggins and Messina, Souther-Hillman-Furay, and the Eagles. And that legacy lives on today."

The band was formed in the late 60s after the legendary group, Buffalo Springfield, broke up. Poco went on to record legendary songs "Crazy Love," "Heart of the Night" and "You'd Better Think Twice."

The band has plans for recording a new album together, and fans will be rewarded with a book from Young on his 40 years in the music business.

Stagecoach will take place Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Country Music heavy hitters Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, along with Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Poco, Darius Rucker, Chris Cagle and more are scheduled to perform.
