Folk legend Tom Rush continues to forge ahead. The 84-year-old singer-songwriter will bring his catalog of songs and stories to The Birchmere on Saturday, April 5. At an age when most folks are comfortably retired, Rush remains active, recording a new album last year, playing dozens of live shows annually, and even hosting a regular weekly webcast, Rockport Sundays. (Ken Abrams)

He will be accompanied by Matt Nakoa and special guest Jeff Daniels.
