Tom Rush

About this event

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer whose shows offer a musical journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor, and warm, expressive voice have made him a legend to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads, and the passion of gritty blues. Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound, helping shape the folk revival in the ‘60s and the renaissance of the ‘80s and ‘90s. The Kennedy Center Concert Hall was packed and the stage crowded with musicians and friends Saturday night. Rush and his fellow performers not only celebrated the past and the traditions that link one generation of musicians to the next, but they also made the future for acoustic music look bright indeed. Evocative… sensitive… imaginative… gorgeous… breathtaking… compelling. The music cast an intimate spell.” - Mike Joyce, The Washington Post Public ticket sales begin May 6, 2026, at noon Pacific.
