Folk-rock singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright will kick off the Shadbolt Centre’s live music series for 2018/19.
Wainwright will be on hand on Thursday, Sept. 27 for an 8 p.m. performance.
Wainwright is the New York City-born daughter of folk legends Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III, sister of singer Rufus Wainwright. She’s become known as a “beguilingly different” performer, as a press release bills her.
She started a buzz with some noted EPs before her successful LP debut, Martha Wainwright, in 2005.
Her latest album, Good Night City, which has been described as “uplifting and powerful” by The Guardian newspaper, was released in 2016.
Tickets for her Shadbolt Centre performance are $40, available through 604-205-3000 or tickets.shadboltcentre.com.
