Tom Rush
Tom Rush began his performing career while a student at Harvard in the early 1960s, quickly proving to be a premier interpreter of traditional folk and blues songs (along with the occasional excursion to the rock ’n roll and pop songbooks). Later in that decade Rush helped transition urban folk into the singer-songwriter era, performing music by then-obscure songwriters such as James Taylor and Jackson Browne and writing a standard of his own, “No Regrets.” His most recent album, Voices, is a set of all original material. Rush is most often found performing on the east coast, so don’t miss a rare chance to catch a show in the Midwest, accompanied by Matt Nakoa on keys and harmony vocals.
