Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humour 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 story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.
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. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.
In 2012, he began a revival of his Club 47® shows at Boston’s Symphony Hall. Tom Rush: 50 Years of Music, featured old friends David Bromberg, Jonathan Edwards and Buskin & Batteau, and new friends like Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The show was streamed live, and has been released as a DVD video. He followed up with a sold-out show at Symphony Hall in 2013, with the Kweskin Jug Band, Maria Muldaur, Geoff Muldaur and Bill Keith, Patty Larkin, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion.
Today, Tom Rush lives in Massachusetts when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic, and his music, like a fine wine, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s written a number of new songs. He’s doing what he loves, and what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times.

GRAMMY Award-winning musician David Clayton-Thomas has
announced the release of his latest album, Say Somethin’ — set for release
March 20, 2020 via Linus Records.
Featuring singles “Never Again,” Clayton-Thomas’ powerful
battle cry calling attention to the gun violence plaguing the U.S.; and “The
System,” his insistent calls for action within the youth justice system, Say
Somethin’ is a 10-track statement in the form of potent music and inspirational
songwriting from the legendary artist. In addition, the album confronts many
timely issues across today’s social spectrum, including climate change,
immigration, and politics.
David Clayton-Thomas collaborated on Say Somethin with
Canadian musicians Lou Pomanti, Eric St Laurent, Davide Direnzo, and George Koller.
David Clayton-Thomas began his amazing journey as a homeless
street kid and developed into one of the most recognizable voices in music, to
date selling over 40 million records. In 1996 he was inducted into the Canadian
Music Hall of Fame and in 2007 his jazz/rock composition “Spinning Wheel” was
enshrined in the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame. In 2010 David received his star on
Canada’s Walk of Fame.
His 1968 debut album with Blood Sweat & Tears sold 10
million copies worldwide. The self-titled record topped the Billboard album
chart for seven weeks and charted for a staggering 109 weeks. It won an
unprecedented five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year and Best
Performance by a Male Vocalist. It featured three hit singles, “You Made Me So
Very Happy,” “And When I Die” and “Spinning Wheel,” as well as an irresistible
rendition of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child” that became a signature
song for David. A 1969 summary in the Los Angeles Times proclaimed that “Blood
Sweat & Tears just may be the most important pop music group of the
decade.”
BS&T headlined at major venues around the world… Royal
Albert Hall, The Metropolitan Opera, The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden
and Caesar’s Palace, as well as the Newport Jazz Festival and Woodstock. It was
the first contemporary band to break through the Iron Curtain with its historic
1970 tour of Eastern Europe.
Through the years, he has lost none of the attributes that
have made him one of the greatest vocalists of his generation. That
unmistakable voice now soaring and sunny, now a dark, somber shade of blue. He
still just sings the hell out of a song.
“People like me don’t retire,” says David with his face in a
wide grin around those storied, steel-blue eyes.” This is what I was put here
to do”. With the BS&T years now behind him, look for an outpouring of new
music from this gifted and fiercely creative artist.

BLOOD,
SWEAT AND TEARS BY DAVID CLAYTON-THOMAS -Autobiography
There
was a time when David Clayton-Thomas seemed an unlikely success story. As a
teenager in Willowdale, Ontario, his frequent clashes with his authoritarian
father led to his living on the streets by the time he was 14, then spending
the rest of his youth bouncing in and out of jails and reformatories. But when
a battered, old mail-order guitar was left to him by an outgoing inmate,
Clayton-Thomas discovered a talent for music that allowed him to believe in a
different kind of life. This is the remarkable story of his journey to
international stardom as the legendary front man for Blood, Sweat & Tears.
In his brutally truthful memoir, Clayton-Thomas reveals what it was like to
headline at Woodstock, to tour behind the Iron Curtain, to watch brilliant
musicians tear their own band apart with in-fighting, and to make his fortune
only to lose it all … and start all over again. This is a story of grit,
courage, and determination. It is, above all, a story of survival.
