“…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.

Tom Rush accompanied by Matt Nakoa
2021-05-07 20:00 - 22:00 | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
***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.

Academy Art Museum’s Instructors’ Exhibition
2021-01-29 10:00 - 2021-03-20 17:00 | Academy Art Museum, 106 South St, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
The Academy Art Museum is opening two new exhibitions on January 29, 2021. From Cassatt to Chicago: A Celebration of Women Artists in the Permanent Collection and Academy Art Museum’s Instructors’ Exhibition will be on view through March 20.
Following the centennial of the 19th Amendment, celebrated in 2020, From Cassatt to Chicago: A Celebration of Women Artists in the Permanent Collection presents selected highlights of works of the nearly 100 female artists in the Museum’s Permanent Collection, including Mary Cassatt, Judy Chicago, Terry Haass, Terry Parmelee, Grace Hartigan, Kiki Smith, Anne Truitt, Renee Stout, and Lorna Simpson.
“The Museum is proud that works by female artists make up nearly a quarter of its Permanent Collection, which is twice the national average for U.S. museums. The exhibition demonstrates the diverse accomplishments of female artists in our collection and raises important questions about gender equality and representation in the art world. One thing these works have in common is the professional challenges these women have overcome to create their art,” comments Museum Curator Mehves Lelic.
The works in the exhibition cover a wide range of movements and interests from the mid-20th century to our present moment, including minimalism, abstraction, and contemporary art.
The Academy Art Museum’s Instructors’ Exhibition presents recent works by its exceptional team of instructors. As practicing local artists working in multiple mediums, the instructors of our adult and children’s classes engage with what is in and around our community and beyond in intriguing ways. Their experience guiding budding and experienced student artists informs their work, as their technical proficiency and artistic curiosity intertwine, delivering a colorful and dynamic exhibition.
“We haven’t done an Instructors’ Exhibition in about six years. We have an incredibly talented cadre of teachers – some with a national presence. Many have been prolific since the pandemic so there is new material to be viewed in the show,” comments Katie Cassidy, artist, instructor, and Education Consultant at the Museum.
Lelic adds, “Because our instructors are working artists, creating new art is a part of their practice as teachers. They incorporate many things in their work so their students will get to enjoy seeing another side of them as makers of art.”
Exhibiting artists in the Instructor’s Exhibition include Paul Aspell, Steve Bleinberger, Katie Cassidy, Rosemary Cooley, Bernie Dellario, Constance Del Nero, Georgia June Goldberg, Matthew Hillier, Susan Horsey, Maire McArdle, Diane DuBois Mullaly, Julia Rogers, Brad Ross, Maggii Sarfaty, Theresa Schram, Sahm Doherty Sefton, Sheryl Southwick, Cid Collins Walker, Steve Walker, and Meg Walsh.
The Academy Art Museum exhibitions are sponsored by the Talbot County Arts Council, the Maryland State Arts Council, and the Star Democrat. Open daily, Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, 12 noon to 4 p.m.
This winter and spring the Museum is offering a scaled-back list of class offerings, both in-person in small groups and online to adhere to safety standards during the pandemic. For additional information or to register for a class, visit academyartmuseum.org or call the Museum at 410-822-2787.
