Tom Rush

Now celebrating five decades of touring, Tom has been thrilling audiences here and abroad with hits like No Regrets, Circle Game, Remember Song, Urge for Going and Merrimack County.

Tom Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s, the folk-rock movement of the ‘70s, and then the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty and Garth Brooks have cited Tom a major influence.  His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.  Subsequently, his Club
47 concerts brought national attention to emerging artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin.

As vital and engaging as ever, Tom is still doing what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times. He’s also celebrating a YouTube hit, The Remember Song, that’s gone viral with over 7 million views.

Tom currently tours either as a solo act, or — in keeping with his life-long interest in introducing emerging artists to a wider audience —accompanied by up-and-coming Singer/Songwriter Matt Nakoa.  In either format he continues to captivate sold out audiences of loyal fans.

Suggested tracks for radio ads: “No Regrets,” “Urge For Going,” “Driving Wheel,” and “The Remember Song”.

Tom Rush tonight at the Portsmouth Music Hall is still as great as ever. Voice is still gorgeous, humor is just as witty, and that is AFTER his bout with COVID 19! Matt Nakoa is amazing on the piano and his voice is the perfect complement to Toms. Special Kudos to the Music Hall for making sure we were all socially distant.  I felt very safe and cared for. And what a joy it was to hear live music again!
