New York had Dylan, but we had Tom Rush. Like a lot of people who do what I do, I owe my career to him . . . he’s a real national treasure.

—James Taylor

Tom Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the 1960s and the renaissance of the 1980s and 1990s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty, and Garth Brooks have cited Rush as major influences. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor. Subsequently, his Club 47 concerts brought attention to artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin.

As vital and engaging as ever, Rush 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 seven million views.

Currently, Rush tours as a duo show, accompanied by up-and-coming singer-songwriter Matt Nakoa, continuing to captivate his sold-out audiences of loyal fans.
