Folk legends Tom Rush, Noel Paul Stookey and Jonathan Edwards will take the stage together for a special performance on the Boch Center's music television series The Ghost Light Series. This will be the first time the trio has ever performed together. The show will air Friday, NOVEMBER 6 at 7:30 PM on NECN.
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 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.
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.
Singer/songwriter Noel Paul Stookey has been altering both the musical and ethical landscape of this country and the world for decades - both as the "Paul" of the legendary Peter, Paul and Mary and as an independent musician who passionately believes in bringing the spiritual into the practice of daily life.
