WHAT: First performed in 2005, this holiday celebration is equal parts concert and family reunion. Due to COVID-19, this year the family reunion will be a virtual one, with different strands of the family and musicians coming together in Rufus' living room in his home in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, Martha's arts and community center "Ursa" on Montreal's Parc Avenue, and City Winery in New York for Lucy Wainwright Roche, her mother Suzzy Roche and their dad Loudon Wainwright III. The live stream will switch between these three locations and take this family tradition to its roots back to Rufus' and Martha's childhood where they would perform Christmas carols and songs with their grandmother, mother, aunts and cousins in the living room of their St. Sauveur weekend cottage and give it a 21st century digital twist. Everyone's living room, audience and performers alike, is now the internet. Unlike in previous years, where the family gathered special guests to perform alongside them, this year all songs will be interpreted by family to minimize social interaction but maximize intimacy.
