Rufus and Martha Wainwright are extremely happy to announce the date and some details for their annual Christmas show, “A Not So Silent Night,” to take place at The Town Hall on December 22. A family tradition, the two siblings will be joined by their immediate family as well other members of the Wainwright and McGarrigle clans. Emmylou Harris is a part of the tradition too. She has been a part of almost every Christmas show since its inception since she had a strong creative history with the Wainwrights’ mother, Kate McGarrigle. Norah Jones is also a returning guest to the annual show.

Loudon Wainwright III’s new album Lifetime Achievement (StorySound Records) is out now.  His first album of original songs since 2014, Lifetime Achievement finds Wainwright in a state of deep reflection at age 75, featuring 15 witty, incisive tracks.
