Tom Rush and Abe Partridge join host Stephen Kallao

Tom Rush’s career spans over six decades. His covers of songs by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor helped to introduce those artists to audiences across the country in the 1960s. Recently, Tom successfully crowdfunded his upcoming album using Kickstarter. On the next World Cafe, Tom Rush joins us for a mini concert from the stage of the 30A Songwriters Festival, courtesy of our friends at WMOT.
