About this Event
Originating from a chance meeting at a Boston open mic night in 1971, Rex Fowler & Neal Shulman went on to record four albums throughout the ‘70s on Elektra & RCA Records that left an indelible mark on the folk-rock genre. As their recording career continued, so did the critical acclaim.
In 1986, their indie album “Living in America” was named in Billboard’s year-end critic’s poll and received the New York Music Award for the Best Folk Album. In 1999 they were the subjects of “No Hit Wonder,” a documentary that aired on PBS stations across America. In June 2007, Real Simple, a popular national lifestyle magazine, named ATS’s debut album one of the all-time top five classic folk albums, along with works by Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Tom Rush and Phil Ochs. More recently, they've been inducted into the music halls of fame of New England and Long Island. Headliners in their own right, the group appeared in concert with The Band, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Donovan, Judy Collins, Jackson Browne, America, Heart, Orleans, The Beach Boys and countless others.
Following Neal's 2018 retirement, Rex has continued their legacy with his wife Dodie Pettit and their expanded band Aztec Two-Step 2.0, adding new layers of sound to ATS fan favorites and forgotten gems.
