Last week's performance by Tom Rush and Brendan Cleary at Big Bear Lodge at the Andres Institute of Art was an evening to remember.

Tom Rush needs no introduction to anyone who loves American folk music — he is simply an icon, and his decades of influence on the genre are felt every time he takes the stage. He still delivers a masterful show, and the opportunity to spend a little time with him afterward was a genuine honor. He is every bit as warm, gracious and kind as his reputation suggests.

The revelation of the evening was Brendan Cleary. A rising star with a powerful, captivating voice and a command of the guitar that marks him as a true virtuoso — a naturally gifted musician who has put in the work to make that gift extraordinary. Like Tom, he carries himself with real warmth and humility offstage. Remember that name. You will be hearing it for a long time.

With 16 critically acclaimed albums to his name, and collaborations including the renowned Oxley–Meier Guitar Project, Pete’s work has taken him across the UK and Europe. His compositions have even earned a place in the European Real Book — a distinction held by only a select group of British composers.
