| Tom will be right at home at the Parsons Theatre, a state-of-the-art performing arts space located next to the Northglenn Recreation Center. With a capacity of 335 seats, the venue is intimate enough for concertgoers to see Tom up close and personal, yet expansive enough to hold the weight of his songs and his timeless voice. The Parsons Theatre is located in the Northglenn Recreation Center at 1 E Mem Pkwy Entrance, Northglenn, CO 80233. This will be the first time Northglenn Arts and Swallow Hill Music have partnered on an event, both organizations are members of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). For Swallow Hill Music, the partnership is a continuation of its plan to expand its programming throughout all seven counties of the SCFD. “In recent years we’ve dedicated ourselves to reaching music lovers throughout the seven counties served by the SCFD, including concerts and events in Broomfield, Englewood, Longmont, Westminster, and more,” Swallow Hill Music’s CEO Jessy Clark said. “We are thrilled to add partnering with Northglenn Arts to that growing list, and we are excited to welcome Tom Rush to their stage at the Parsons Theatre.” As nonprofits, Swallow Hill and Northglenn Arts rely on ticket sales — including those for the Tom Rush concert — to support their missions of expanding access to the arts. Michael Stricker, the Arts, Culture & Community Manager for Northglenn Arts said: “Partnering with Swallow Hill Music is a dream come true. They set the standard for meaningful concert programming, and we’ve long admired their work. To launch this partnership by presenting the legendary Tom Rush is truly extraordinary.” Rush recently joked to ALX Now in Alexandria, Virginia, that this is his “65th annual farewell tour,” yet he shows no signs of slowing down. “I’ve written more songs in the past 10 years than in the first 50,” he said. “The songs just seem to come a lot more often.” So when he takes the stage at Parsons Theatre on October 25, expect a mix of timeless classics and new favorites.

| GET TICKETS: Tom Rush at the Parsons Theatre at Northglenn Arts on Saturday, October 25 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 story-telling, 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. 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. |
