SUMMARY:Tom Rush with TBA
DESCRIPTION:Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer\, whose shows off
 er a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of wh
 at music has been\, can be\, and will become. His distinctive guitar sty
 le\, wry humour and warm\, expressive voice have made him both a legend 
 and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the 
 rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling\, the sweet melancholy of 
 ballads and the passion of gritty blues. Rush’s impact on the American m
 usic scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’6
 0s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s\, his music having left its 
 stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone\, “Tom 
 was not only one of my early heroes\, but also one of my main influences
 .” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of h
 is top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artist
 s. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchel
 l\, Jackson Browne and James Taylor\, and in more recent years his Club 
 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvi
 n to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own re
 putations. Tom Rush began his musical career in the early ’60s playing t
 he Boston-area clubs while a Harvard student. The Club 47 was the flagsh
 ip of the coffee house fleet\, and he was soon holding down a weekly spo
 t there\, learning from the legendary artists who came to play\, honing 
 his skills and growing into his talent. He had released two albums by th
 e time he graduated. Rush displayed then\, as he does today\, an uncanny
  knack for finding wonderful songs\, and writing his own – many of which
  have become classics re-interpreted by new generations. (It is a testim
 ony to the universality of his appeal that his songs have been folk hits
 \, country hits\, heavy metal and rap hits.) Signed by Elektra in 1965\,
  Rush made three albums for them\, culminating in The Circle Game\, whic
 h\, according to Rolling Stone\, ushered in the singer/songwriter era. I
 n the early ’70s\, folk turned to folk-rock\, and Rush\, ever adaptable\
 , saw more room to stretch out. Recording now for Columbia\, he toured t
 irelessly with a five-man band\, playing concerts across the country. En
 dless promotional tours\, interviews\, television appearances\, and reco
 rding sessions added up to five very successful but exhausting years\, a
 fter which Tom decided to take a break and “recharge” his creative side 
 at his New Hampshire farm. Rush returned with a splash in 1981\, selling
  out Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall in advance. Time off had not onl
 y rekindled Rush’s love of music\, but it had also re-ignited music audi
 ences’ love of Rush. He instinctively knew that his listeners were inter
 ested in both the old and the new\, and set out to create a musical foru
 m – like the Club 47 of the early ’60s – to allow established artists an
 d newcomers to share the same stage. In 1982\, he tried it out at Sympho
 ny Hall. The show was such a hit it became an annual event\, growing to 
 fill two\, then three nights and the Club 47 series was born. Crafting c
 oncerts that combined well-known artists such as Bonnie Raitt or Emmylou
  Harris with (then) unknowns like Alison Krauss or Mark O’ Connor\, Rush
  took the show on the road. From the ’80s to the present day\, Club 47 e
 vents have filled the nation’s finest halls to rave reviews\, and have b
 een broadcast as national specials on PBS and NPR. In 1999\, Columbia/Le
 gacy released a Tom Rush retrospective album that covers his recorded mu
 sical history from 1962 to the present\, including tracks recorded for C
 olumbia\, Elektra\, Prestige and his independent years. Entitled “The Ve
 ry Best of Tom Rush: No Regrets”\, the 17-track compilation includes as 
 a bonus a brand new Tom Rush composition\, “River Song\,” which features
  vocal contributions from Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn. A l
 ive CD\, “Trolling for Owls” released in 2003 and published by Tom’s NIG
 HTLIGHT RECORDINGS\, captures Tom’s complete performance and includes\, 
 for the first time\, some of the spoken stories that have endeared him t
 o audiences. “How I Play (some of) My Favorite Songs”\, a DVD released i
 n 2005 by Homespun Tapes\, shows how he plays ten of the memorable songs
  and guitar arrangements\, and has had great reviews from guitarists all
  over the world. In 2009\, Tom recorded his first studio CD in 35 years\
 , in Nashville. “What I Know” was produced by Tom’s long-time friend Jim
  Rooney and includes original Tom Rush material\, as well as harmonies b
 y Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Bramlett and Nanci Griffith. In 2012\, he bega
 n a revival of his Club 47® shows at Boston’s Symphony Hall. Tom Rush: 5
 0 Years of Music\, featured old friends David Bromberg\, Jonathan Edward
 s and Buskin & Batteau\, and new friends like Dom Flemons of the Carolin
 a Chocolate Drops. The show was streamed live\, and has been released as
  a DVD video. He followed up with a sold-out show at Symphony Hall in 20
 13\, with the Kweskin Jug Band\, Maria Muldaur\, Geoff Muldaur and Bill 
 Keith\, Patty Larkin\, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion. And on Decemb
 er 28\, 2014\, his show featured Red Molly\, a folk trio consisting of L
 aurie MacAllister (vocals\, guitar\, banjo)\, Abbie Gardner (vocals\, gu
 itar\, Dobro\, lap steel guitar)\, and Molly Venter (vocals\, guitar)\; 
 Grace Kelly (22-year old Downbeat Magazine-featured saxophonist)\;and Mo
 nica Rizzio (Cape Cod singer-songwriter\, who performs with the group “T
 ripping Lily.”) Again\, to rave reviews. Today\, Tom Rush lives in Massa
 chusetts when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more
  melodic\, and his music\, like a fine wine\, has matured and ripened in
  the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s written a numbe
 r of new songs. He’s doing what he loves\, and what audiences love him f
 or: writing and playing …passionately\, tenderly…knitting together the m
 usical traditions and talents of our times.\n\nMore info: https://flying
