John Rush
About this event
Join us at The Corinthian Club in Glasgow for an evening with John Rush, the Glasgow-based singer-songwriter whose folk-tinged pop has earned him a reputation as one of Scotland's finest live performers. With a storied track record that includes multiple appearances at iconic venues like the Barrowland Ballroom, O2 Academy, and the Royal Concert Hall, John brings genuine artistry and energy to every stage he graces.
John's musical palette is wonderfully broad, drawing from Motown, blues, country, folk, Britpop, and beyond—meaning there's something for everyone in his setlist. Whether you're after timeless classic covers or his own compelling originals, his performances are known for that special spark that comes from an artist who's shared stages with Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene, and The Bluetones, and who's taken his music from Scottish festival fields to sold-out venues across the Atlantic.
Expect a night of genuine connection and masterful musicianship at The Corinthian Club. This is live music done right—an intimate setting for an artist with a big resume and the talent to match it.
More Information
Glasgow-based singer-songwriter John Rush masterfully blends "folk-tinged pop" with an impressive live performance resume. He has performed on some of Scotland's most iconic stages, including the Barrowland Ballroom (four times), King Tut’s, O2 Academy, and the Royal Concert Hall, and has played at festivals across Scotland and England. John has shared the stage with music legends such as Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene, The Bluetones and Chris Helme (The Seahorses). He also joined Rick Astley for a sold-out performance at Kelvingrove. His talents have taken him across the Atlantic, where he played four shows in New York City, including an intimate Sofar Sounds rooftop session. After the lockdown, John returned to the festival circuit, performing at Capers in Cannich, Eden, Doune, and Lindisfarne, and headlined a sold-out gig at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow. He supported Hipsway at the Barrowland Ballroom during CeilidhFest 2023 and was personally selected by Paul Weller to support the Scottish leg of the Modfather’s UK Tour in the same week. Around this time, John released his single “The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree,” which climbed to #2 on the iTunes UK Singer-Songwriter chart. In 2024, John’s career soared even higher with performances alongside The Silencers, festival slots at Eden and Doune The Rabbit Hole, and a landmark 2,100-capacity show at Kelvingrove Bandstand supporting Rick Astley. John is making waves with new music, including his highly anticipated second album. The lead single, “Waitin’ For Your Love To Call,” released via Button Up Records (helmed by Garry John Kane of The Proclaimers), debuted at #1 on the Singer-Songwriter charts. The full album, Some Time On New Street, was released in late 2024 as well as on limited edition Vinyl. John has been touring the album since early 2025 all over the UK including Liverpool, Manchester, London, Newcastle, Glasgow & Edinburgh.
