Tom Rush in Aspen

Tom Rush is an American folk singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in Concord, New Hampshire, in 1941. His album The Circle Game introduced listeners to songs by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, while his own best-known compositions include “No Regrets” and “Merrimack County.” Club 47 in Cambridge was one of his early stages during his Harvard years, and Tom Rush at the Unicorn documented his solo folk-club repertoire. He later borrowed the club’s name for a concert series that brought guest singer-songwriters together, including long-running holiday performances at Boston’s Symphony Hall.
