Peter Yarrow

As a founding member of Peter, Paul and Mary, Peter Yarrow has entertained, challenged and inspired four generations of music lovers. A Peter Yarrow performance does more than assure a memorable evening of music, camaraderie and “Puff’s special magic” for everyone, young and old alike. The songs that he wrote and performed with his musical compatriots, Mary and Paul, have changed and inspired millions to continue to keep on keepin’ on, hold firm to principle, and not be deterred in the face of adversity. His performances create an environment in which a sense of reassuring commonality is shared at a time when society is deeply concerned for its welfare and its future.

Tom Rush

Now celebrating 50+ years of touring, Tom Rush has been thrilling audiences here and abroad with hits like No Regrets, Circle Game, Remember Song, Urge for Going and Merrimack County. As part of his 50th year celebration in 2012, Rush presented a gala show at Symphony Hall in Boston that was streamed live on the web, released as a DVD and later broadcast as a PBS special. His 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 like James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty and Garth Brooks.  His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.  As vital and engaging as ever, Rush is still doing what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times. He’s also celebrating a YouTube hit, a song for his generation that’s gone viral with almost 6.5 million views.

Roger McGuinn

Roger McGuinn ( Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn Turn, Turn) not only lived history, he made history with his fearless sense of experimentation. As the leader of the influential 60s group, The Byrds, he was on the leading edge, combining the rock beat of the Beatles with the folk sensibilities of Bob Dylan, to create the genre known as "folk-rock."  Roger's solo career began in 1973 and has yielded 10 albums, a Grammy nomination, and extensive touring and performing for enthralled audiences ever since.  In addition to touring, Roger has been busier than ever spearheading his acclaimed Folk Den Project, playing select dates with country superstar Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives and recently opened The Montreal Folk Festival.
