Tonight recent Grammy Award-winner, Chapel Hill-bred folk singer-songwriter and father of Rufus, Martha and Lucy, Loudon Wainwright III will be headlining the Largo at the Coronet. French musical collective Nouvelle Vague are poised to grace the Henry Fonda Music Box. And, lastly, local folk troubadour Ferraby Lionheart (LAist Interview, Review) is poised to take on the Bootleg Theater again—this time around with LA-bred electro pop singer-songwriter Evan Voytas in tow. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the El Rey Theatre to catch Tulsa-based indie pop songstress St. Vincent (LAist Interview, Review). Sweden's own husband-and-wife duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums are slated to kick things off.
Tonight In Rock: Loudon Wainwright III, Nouvelle Vague, St. Vincent, Ferraby Lionheart
Tonight In Rock: Wilco, PJ Harvey & John Parish, Nouvelle Vague, Julie Doiron
Tonight Chicago-based alt-rockers Wilco (LAist Interview) will be headlining the newly-restored Fox Theatre in Pomona. Legendary English female rocker PJ Harvey will be performing to a sold-out crowd with John Parish at the Wiltern. Brooklyn-based indie pop act Chairlift (LAist Review), who gained popularity through those (goddamn) lurid Apple commercials, are poised to grace the Getty Center. And, lastly, French musical collective Nouvelle Vague, who are poised to release their third album of covers, appropriately entitled 3, will be performing at the Henry Fonda Music Box with Hawaiian singer-songwriter Sara Lov in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch Canadian indie folk singer-songwriter Julie Doiron.
