An Evening with Tom Rush accompanied by Matt NakoaNow 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.
Matt Nakoa is an internationally touring singer/songwriter who tours frequently with Tom Rush. He grew up in rural New York on a goat farm and discovered music as an escape. He trained to be a concert pianist and was accepted into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied alongside St. Vincent and Esperanza Spalding. After school, he landed in New York’s vibrant piano bar scene, becoming a star performer at Manhattan’s Brandy’s Piano Bar. The Boston Globe said, “Nakoa does not disappoint…Actually, between his piano chops, charismatic stage presence and heartfelt originals on guitar…he drops jaws.”
