"...Adams fuses intimate, emotionally powerful lyrics with graceful, low-key roots-based indie folk…” All Music Guide Adams is an Americana singer-songwriter who tells tales of love and loss, homes and hearts. The territory he mines is a deliberate mix of fact and fantasy, but regardless of the details, there's always a philosophical bent that is often more under than on the surface, firmly grounding Adams’ songs even as they stretch outward. His brand of Americana nestles his often delicate, always heartfelt voice in the warm embrace of gentle guitar, tasteful dobro, subtle banjo, supportive bass, and unhurried percussion. The result is a sonic scape that, in turn, wraps itself around the listener like a soft blanket on a cold day. http://www.peterbradleyadams.com/
***This is the rescheduled performance from the original Friday, September 25, 2020 date. “Rush and his fellow performers not only celebrated the past and the traditions that link one generation of musicians to the next, but they also made the future for acoustic music look bright indeed. Evocative … sensitive … imaginative … gorgeous … breathtaking … compelling. The music cast an intimate spell.” Washington Post 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. 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. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor, and warm, expressive voice have made Rush 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. https://www.tomrush.com/
