Loudon Wainwright III’s
Surviving Twin
A solo piece many years in the making, Surviving Twin is what the singer-songwriter
calls a “posthumous collaboration” with his writer father. Part concert, part dramatic reading,
part family slide-show, it is a hybrid theatrical form consisting mainly of songs written by Loudon III,
along with readings of magazine columns written by his late father, Loudon Jr.,
and photographs that span four generations of the Wainwright clan.

Chad & Jeremy
Thursday, October 27th
7:00 pm
Kuumbwa Jazz center
Of the many British Invasion acts that stormed the charts in the wake of the Beatles,
Chad & Jeremy possessed a subtlety and sophistication unmatched among their contemporaries,
essentially creating the template for the kind of lush, sensitive folk-pop embraced by
followers from Nick Drake to Belle & Sebastian."
Several decades later, they have been described by one concert reviewer as
"Simon and Garfunkel meet Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore."
They serve up an appealing blend of vocal harmonies, inventive guitar and piano
playing spiced with their unique brand of banter, stories and sardonic wit.
