An Evening with Tom Rush, Accompanied by Matt Nakoa

  • The Newtown Theatre 120 North State Street Newtown, PA 18940 (map)

Now celebrating 53+ years of touring, Tom Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists.

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, for his generation that’s gone viral with over 7 million views.  

Rush’s distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific storytelling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.  

Tom Rush “has made his reputation as a soft-spoken, powerful interpreter of traditional songs.”
— The New York Times

Matt Nakoa will be accompanying Rush. Nakoa is an award-winning singer-songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist, modern troubadour who makes his home on the highways and concert stages of America. The Boston Globe acclaims of Nakoa, “Between his piano chops and heartfelt originals on guitar, he drops jaws.”
