Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright at The Pabst Theater
After releasing his lavish 2007 studio album, Release The Stars, Rufus Wainwright put out two live records—including a recording of his elaborate tribute to Judy Garland’s famous Carnegie Hall concert—dabbled in opera, and lost his mother, Kate McGarrigle, to cancer. Wainwright’s 2010 LP, All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, was recorded shortly before McGarrigle died, and it’s an inevitably somber and spare record, with Wainwright playing accompanied solely by his piano. Expect this tour with sister Martha to be both family reunion and loving tribute.
