The warm, homey magic spun in the course of a Tom Rush performance has often been likened to a cozy evening spent in front of a living room fire. (We'd all be lucky to have such living rooms!) So come in out of the fog, pull up a chair, and prepare yourself to be captivated by this preeminent singer-songwriter, whose expressive voice, distinctive guitar style, terrific yarn-spinning, and wry sense of humor have defined acoustic music for several generations of fans. Drawing on four decades spent as a folk troubador, Tom's performances roam a vast musical territory, from sweet ballads to gritty blues, offering a celebration of where acoustic music has come from and where it's going.

After beginning his musical career in Boston in the early '60s, Tom established himself as one of the shaping forces of the acoustic music scene with his groundbreaking 1965 Elektra album, The Circle Game, which is credited by Rolling Stone with ushering in the singer-songwriter era -- and he's still going strong. Tom continues to write and perform classics like "No Regrets" and "River Song" and to champion up-and-coming folk musicians through his Club 47 concerts. His most recent album is the live recording, Trolling For Owls.
