Rufus and Martha Wainwright at Strathmore
Siblings Rufus and Martha Wainwright, spawn of Canadian folk legends Loudon Wainwright III and the late Kate McGarrigle, are jointly touring in support of new solo releases: Rufus’s All Days Are Night: Songs for Lulu, an uncharacteristically austere album, focused on piano and voice; and Martha for a live, French-language tribute to Edith Piaf. Chances are good they’ll perform together as well, just like old times. Tonight, Saturday, Aug. 7, at 8 p.m. Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda. Tickets are $46. Call 301-581-5100 or visit strathmore.org.
