Loudon Wainwright III's One-Man Show SURVIVING TWIN to Play SubCulture

Loudon Wainwright III is widely considered one of the great singer-songwriters of his generation. His album High Wide & Handsome won a GRAMMY in 2010, and in April 2015 he was awarded BBC 2's Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting. Some of the most memorable entries in his body of work are songs-by turns poignant and hilarious-about his family relationships, from "Rufus Is a Tit Man" to "Your Mother and I" to "Surviving Twin," from his 2001 album Last Man on Earth. More than four decades into his career, Wainwright has expanded the boundaries of his artistry with Surviving Twin, a new one-man show directed by Daniel Stern that connects and combines some of his songs with spoken word performances of columns his late father, Loudon Wainwright Jr., wrote for LIFE Magazine.
