Tonight In Rock: Loudon Wainwright III, Nouvelle Vague, St. Vincent, Ferraby Lionheart

Our Pick: St. Vincent, Wildbirds and Peacedrums @ El Rey Theatre
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.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which generally goes up every Sunday.
