Loudon Wainwright III: Folk Musician in New York

About Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III is a songwriter and performer whose work sits between country, folk, and the singer-songwriter tradition, delivered with a plainspoken wit. In New York City he returns to Town Hall for “Loudon Wainwright III: 80th Birthday Jubilee,” a program that places his songs alongside family and long-time collaborators. His collaborators have included Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche, John Scofield, Joe Henry, and filmmakers and comic-actors such as Judd Apatow, Christopher Guest, and Michael McKean. His performances favor clarity over spectacle, with narrative detail doing much of the work.
