Loudon Wainwright III, who plays Murray Theater at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida on March 29, 2017.
Liner Notes: On Parents & Children, Exes & Excess, Death & Decay, & a Few of My Other Favorite Things To this 32-year-old wannabe hipster, Loudon Wainwright III was always just Rufus’ dad: A guy who was important, but whose work outside of the Grammy-winning High Wide & Handsome I just didn’t have the attention for (Sufjan, Joanna Newsom — there was always just so much more deep music I needed to dive into instead). After spending time with the 71-year-old folkie, humorist and actor’s new, often hilarious meditation and memoir on family, I can’t can’t wait to reconcile my sins and then maybe catch the man at his March 29 show inside Ruth Eckerd Hall’s ridiculously intimate Murray Theatre.
