Influential Singer-Songwriter Coming to Caffe Lena

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Tom Rush will bring his distinctive guitar style, wry humor, and expressive voice to Caffe Lena on April 26.

Rush has been credited by Rolling Stone with ushering in the era of the singer-songwriter. In addition to performing his own compositions, he sang songs by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor, among others, helping them to gain recognition early in their careers.

James Taylor once 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 musical influences, as well.

Rush’s 1968 composition “No Regrets” has become a standard, with numerous cover versions performed by artists such as The Walker Brothers, Emmylou Harris, and Midge Ure.
