Martha Wainwright

Event time: 8pm

Price: $25

The daughter of folk greats Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the sister of opera-pop savant Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright was born into a shockingly talented family, yet she rarely seems burdened by expectations. Her albums are free and confident, marked by acid-tongued songwriting and deviations from typical folk and rock tropes. She also has a gift for culling interesting collaborators. 2012’s Come Home to Mama featured collaborators including Sean Lennon and Yuka Honda, as well as Wilco’s Nels Cline and Dirty Three drummer Jim White, while last year’s Goodnight City featured songwriting assists from Beth Orton, Glen Hansard, Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs and Rufus Wainwright, who penned the closer “Francis.”
