Rufus Wainwright Special Guest: Martha Wainwright Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter Series Media Sponsor: WFUV 90.7fm Affectionately referred to by Elton John as "the greatest songwriter on the planet" and praised by The New York Times for his "genuine originality," Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theater, dance and film. His newest album titled, All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu, was released April 2010. This summer, $1 from every ticket sold on Rufus Wainwright's American tour will go to the Kate McGarrigle Fund. Kate McGarrigle established the Kate McGarrigle Fund, a not- for-profit partner of the Cedars Cancer Institute and the MUHC Foundation.
