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. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.

Joining the 2026 Shamrock Fest line-up is Comedian Jimmy Dunn for his second appearance at the Park Theatre. Jimmy Dunn is an Irish-American stand-up comedian and actor. He is known for his portrayal of the "big, loud, dumb guy". In 2014, he was cast in the CBS sitcom The McCarthys. Nine years later he joined the cast of the 2023 reboot of Frasier on Paramount+. He grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts, and attributed his roles in these shows - in part - to his Boston roots, where both shows are set. He can be heard most Tuesdays on The Greg And The Morning Buzz radio network. He got his start in "show business" telling jokes in a bar in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he was paid in beer and fried clams. Since then, he’s gone on to perform at some of the world’s most prestigious comedy events, including the Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, Montreal’s International Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and Denis Leary’s Comic’s Come Home in Boston.
