To mark his five-decade career anniversary, Tom chose to revive his much missed annual Club 47 Series. He organized a holiday concert at Boston Symphony Hall in December 2012, playing his own set and hosting old friends (fellow Appleseed artists David Bromberg and Jonathan Edwards, Buskin & Batteau) and new (Dom Flemons of the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops string band) as featured frontmen and as backing musicians for himself and each other.

The highlights of this historic and delightful concert are now available on Tom s new 2-disc live DVD/CD, 'Celebrates 50 Years of Music.' On the 13-song DVD (and 17-song CD), Tom displays his intimate, conversational baritone vocals, adept guitar-work, relaxed charm and droll humor in a program encompassing all phases of his career, punctuated by songs by his guests.

DVD bonus features include interviews with Tom and behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage, as well as the four extra songs and onstage banter. When you listen to and watch and laugh and sing along as Tom Rush 'Celebrates 50 Years of Music,' the vibrant spirit of contemporary folk music will be reaffirmed.
