SUMMARY:An Evening with Tom Rush
DESCRIPTION:$50 / All Tickets \n*Membership Comps are NOT applicable to this event \n  \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \nTom 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 story-telling\, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues \nRush’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. \nTom Rush began his musical career in the early ’60s playing the Boston-area clubs while a Harvard student. The Club 47 was the flagship of the coffee house fleet\, and he was soon holding down a weekly spot there\, learning from the legendary artists who came to play\, honing his skills and growing into his talent. He had released two albums by the time he graduated. \nRush displayed then\, as he does today\, an uncanny knack for finding wonderful songs\, and writing his own – many of which have become classics re-interpreted by new generations.\n(It is testimony to the universality of his appeal that his songs have been folk hits\, country hits\, heavy metal and rap hits.) Signed by Elektra in 1965\, Rush made three albums for them\, culminating in The Circle Game\, which\, according to Rolling Stone\, ushered in the singer/songwriter era. \nIn the early ’70s\, folk turned to folk-rock\, and Rush\, ever adaptable\, saw more room to stretch out. Recording now for Columbia\, he toured tirelessly with a five man band\, playing concerts across the country. Endless promotional tours\, interviews\, television appearances\, and recording sessions added up to five very successful but exhausting years\, after which Tom decided to take a break and “recharge” his creative side at his New Hampshire farm. \nRush returned with a splash in 1981\, selling out Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall in advance. Time off had not only rekindled Rush’s love of music\, it had re-ignited music audiences’ love of Rush. \nHe instinctively knew that his listeners were interested in both the old and the new\, and set out to create a musical forum like the Club 47 of the early sixties to allow artists and newcomers to share the same stage. In 1982\, he tried it out at Symphony Hall. The show was such a hit it became an annual event\, growing to fill two\, then three nights\, and the Club 47 series was born. Crafting concerts that combined well known artists such as Bonnie Raitt or Emmylou Harris with (then) unknowns like Alison Krauss or Mark O’ Connor\, Rush took the show on the road. From the ’80s to the present day\, Club 47 events have filled the nation’s finest halls to rave reviews\, and have been broadcast as national specials on PBS and NPR. \nIn 1999\, Columbia/Legacy released a Tom Rush retrospective album that covers his recorded musical history from 1962 to the present\, including tracks recorded for Columbia\, Elektra\, Prestige and his independent years. Entitled “The Very Best of Tom Rush: No Regrets”\, the 17-track compilation includes as a bonus a brand new Tom Rush composition\, “River Song\,” which features vocal contributions from Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn. \nA live CD\, “Trolling for Owls” released in 2003 and published by Tom’s NIGHTLIGHT RECORDINGS\, captures Tom’s complete performance and includes\, for the first time\, some of the spoken stories that have endeared him to audiences. \n“How I Play (some of) My Favorite Songs”\, a DVD released in 2005 by Homespun Tapes. It shows how he plays ten of the memorable songs and guitar arrangements that have long made him one of America’s most beloved performers. \nIn 2009\, Tom recorded his first studio CD in 35 years. Recorded in Nashville\, “What I Know” was produced by Tom’s long-time friend Jim Rooney and includes original Tom Rush material\, as well as harmonies by Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Bramlett and Nanci Griffith. \nToday\, Tom Rush lives in New Hampshire when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic with training\, and his music\, like a fine wine\, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. 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  \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Hayley Reardon
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts Presents Hayley Reardon\n$18\n*This event qualifies for all p/p member discounts \nThe first in our Singer/Songwriter Series\, Hayley returns to the Arakelian Stage for an intimate evening of music. \nPurchase Tickets\n\nHayley Reardon is a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter\, and a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Raised in a coastal Massachusetts town north of Boston\, Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15\, and has dedicated nearly half of her life to writing\, recording and performing music around the world. The artist’s songs have been featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists and Apple Music playlists\, with over 7 million streams on Apple Music alone. She has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna\, Rodney Crowell and Anaïs Mitchell\, among others.  \nReardon’s creative journey thus far has been distinctly international. Carrying her songs and stories all over the globe\, she has performed hundreds upon hundreds of shows in over 13 countries – gathering experiences\, inspiration and soulful connections. Reardon’s travels include a six-month artist-in-residency stay in Dachau\, Germany in 2021. Her ever-deepening music carries a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years\, being described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter Magazine). No Depression writes “Reardon is truly a treasure.”  \nThe past year has been one of artistic abundance and growth for Reardon. Her EP\, Changes\, which was recorded in Barcelona with renowned Spanish guitarist Pau Figueres as producer and collaborator\, released in July 2023. The title track features an original bilingual duet with Catalan sensation Judit Neddermann\, with whom Reardon formed a deep musical bond during her time in Spain and who appears on the EP courtesy of Universal Music Spain. Along with her own releases\, Reardon co-wrote and sings on Seth Glier’s haunting new single My Body Remembers. She was also nominated as 2023 Vocalist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards.  \nAt the start of 2024\, Reardon released her first live concert album\, “Live at Starseed Studios”. The project features 13 tracks from Reardon’s songbook with special acoustic arrangements by Pau Figueres on flamenco guitar and Arnau Figueres on bass. Reardon also recently returned to Spain to record new music with the Figueres brothers at The Sound of Wood studio near Barcelona. According to Reardon\, her upcoming seven-song project\, to be released in August 2024\, takes a more organic approach with vocals and instrumentation tracked live with a five-piece band. Her extensive travels\, recent move back to the States\, and regrounding in a place close to her roots has given the songwriter much to contemplate. In “The Way I Am”\, an upcoming single from the project\, Reardon reflects\, “I needed all this space just to feel the ache that has always been under everything.” These new songs explore uncharted emotional depths for an artist who is already known for her capacity to access tenderness. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Steve Forbert
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents the first in our 2025 Folk/Americana Series\,  Steve Forbert! \nPurchase Tickets\n\n$30 / Non-Members \n$27 / Members \n*Firehouse p/p event \n  \nSteve Forbert is a true American treasure\, a fact underscored by his 21st album\, Daylight Savings Time. Like all his albums of original songs\, it’s suffused with what venerated rock journalist Robert Christgau discerned as his “omnivorously observant” songwriting\, marked by Steve’s gift for finding the deeper meaning and magic within the spectrum of everyday moments\, as well as his abundant melodic and poetic enchantment. \nAs Forbert approaches the milestone of his 70th birthday\, Daylight Savings Time contemplates and celebrates the proverbial ‘extra hour of daylight’ that comes with the time change. “Yeah to chirping crickets and to daylight savings time!” he sings on the album’s first single “Sound Existence\,” “The best ain’t yet to come\, but you could still get by just fine.” \nSteve arrived in New York City from his Meridian\, Mississippi hometown in 1976. He slotted seamlessly into the “new folk” revival in such Manhattan clubs as Folk City\, The Bitter End\, and Kenny’s Castaways while taking the stage at CBGB\, ground zero of the burgeoning new wave/punk movement. He also busked on the streets of Greenwich Village and in the elegant confines of Grand Central Station. \nHe quickly won a major label deal with Nemperor/CBS Records and released his heralded debut\, Alive on Arrival\, in 1978. His next album\, Jackrabbit Slim\, released in 1979\, brought wider renown to Forbert with its #11 pop chart hit “Romeo’s Tune.” It provided the stature for his troubadour existence\, which has kept him active ever since as “a striking performer\, very much worth seeing and hearing\,” according to the New York Times.  \n  \nMembers Early Access – Wednesday\, December 11 \nPublic Ticket Access – Friday\, December 13 \n  \nPurchase Tickets
