A Matinee with Tom Rush at Payomet Performing Arts Center

For decades, Tom Rush has been a deeply influential figure in the world of folk music and beyond--and we are thrilled to welcome this legend back for our listening pleasure on Sunday, September 13, for a matinee performance at 5:00pm.

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.
