Sunday March 23 ROOTS
Loudon Wainwright III (UK)
Candid, humourous and emotionally powerful songwriter Loudon Wainwright III is returning to Australia for a highly anticipated national concert tour in March 2008 supporting his acclaimed new album, 'Strange Weirdos: Music from and inspired by the film Knocked Up.
Throughout his career, Loudon has engaged in the type of soul-baring that many other artists talk about doing, but few have the guts to actually do. Called "the not-so-sensitive folk singer" by Greg Reibman in Billboard, Wainwright has built a cult following with funny, biting, and incisive songs about virtually any subject. He is, according to Tom Surowicz of the Twin Cities Reader, "a thoroughly compelling master of irony" and in Rolling Stone contributor David Browne's words, "our greatest pop satirist."
Ultimately, Wainwright's artistry revolves around his ability to probe and expose the most intimate facets of his own life. His humour and engaging stage persona have made him a cult figure and a concert favourite. Don't miss this one of a kind artist on his upcoming Australian tour.
Lucy Wainwright Roche (support)
Lucy Wainwright Roche grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. She is the daughter of two performing musicians, Loudon Wainwright and Suzzy Roche (The Roches). Her childhood was spent living out of a suitcase, either on the road, with her parents or being ferried around to different relatives in her big musical clan. Described by the New York Times as having the best qualities of both her parents and a voice "clear as a bell", Lucy is a refreshing, pure, alternative to the jive pop culture. She is alarmingly straightforward and unadorned.
Lucy has just released her first recording '8 Songs', a pure, solo, acoustic mix of original material and some surprising covers.
