MusicWorks To Present Three Classic Folk-Rock Concerts In Delray Beach and Lake Worth
By: A.A. Cristi Mar. 19, 2018
MusicWorks today announced that it would be presenting three classic folk-rock concerts in the coming weeks:
March 28 at 8 pm (Wednesday - at Old School Square)
With Special Guest Lucy Wainwright-Roche
Celebrating decades of music and his recent album Haven't Got the Blues (Yet), Loudon Wainwright is, in the words of The New Yorker, "as good as he's ever been. Almost 40 years into his recording career, he has not only retained his sharpness of wit but also has learned to cut with greater skill." From an enfant terrible who was once compared to Bob Dylan, the folksinger-songwriter's music "varies from good-timey folk to spare folk-blues. If his voice has thinned a bit, he still conveys the jovial intimacy of a born storyteller whose public self-mockery exorcises demons," hails Stephen Holden in The New York Times.
The singer recently announced that he will be joined in this concert by his daughter, singer-songwriter Lucy Wainwright Roche. As NPR explained a few years ago, "Songs by Lucy Wainwright Roche seems to be told with a shrug, a note of apology, or modesty. And, yet, her father is the witty and acerbic singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. Her mother is Suzzy Roche - one third of the harmonious Rochesisters. Her half-brother and -sister are Rufus and Martha Wainwright, each acclaimed singer-songwriters in their own right."
Tickets: $57 / $47
March 29 at 8 pm (Thursday - at the Duncan Theatre)
