Award Winning Documentary Exploring Folk Legend Tom Rush’s Musical Legacy to Have CT Premiere at Palace Danbury 

Legendary folksinger, songwriter, and guitarist Tom Rush recalls his illustrious and unconventional career in the new documentary, “Tom Rush: No Regrets.”

Winner of the Best Documentary at the New Hampshire Film Festival, The film will have it’s Connecticut premiere at The Palace Danbury, 165 Main Street, Danbury, CT on Friday, November 7, 2014 starting at 8:00 pm. 

Part of The Palace Danbury’s “Meet The Filmmaker Series,” the evening will include a wine and cheese reception beginning at 7:00 pm as well as a Q&A segment with filmmaker Rob Stegman and Tom Rush following the screening.

Tom 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. 

The film chronicles Rush’s life, mostly from his own humorous, self-deprecating perspective. It includes exclusive footage of the folk icon retracing his developmental New England footsteps up through his recent 50th anniversary celebratory concert at Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall.

The documentary features interviews with Tom Rush, James Taylor, Elektra Records’ Jac Holzman, and DJ Dick Summer, plus musical cameos by David Bromberg, Buskin & Batteau, Jonathan Edwards, and Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. 

In the film, James Taylor reflects on Rush’s influence. “If it weren’t for you, I would not be here,” the singer-songwriter  shares. “I definitely walked in the path you shine a light on, and I pattern myself - in no small way - on you ... and you’re the greatest!” 

"Tom Rush: No Regrets" will be screened at The Palace Danbury on Friday, Nov 7, at 8:00 p.m. All seats are reserved and cost $20 and include a wine and cheese reception prior to the film.
