 Back stage, on stage, in the corridors or in the parking lot… Bobby Rush is still the most gracious entertainer - an opinion shared by many in and out of the enterainment and music industry. He's been in the business forever, literally 50+ years and it would be conceivable to think that maybe he would just "settle down." Not the case here. Bobby Rush has won just about every award known to man. This past summer he was named International Entertainer of the Year at the 32nd Annual Cingular Jackson Music Awards and The Best Blues Band at the Jus' Blues Awards. One might consider all the recognition and awards enough to "rest on his laurels." Not the case with Bobby Rush.
Rush continues to be one of the most exciting and creative artists. His popularity as a live performer has never stopped growing and expanding. Just in the last decade, Rush has gained new audiences through performances at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall and on festival stages in Europe and Japan.
