Rufus Wainwright
February 14, 2008 at Radio City Music Hall
with special guest Sean Lennon
This year make Rufus Wainwright your Valentine by joining him for a very special February 14th show at the world famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City! Sean Lennon will be opening, and Rufus will be performing with his band. This will be the last band show on the Release the Stars World Tour.
With Release the Stars, his fifth album in a decade, Wainwright artfully establishes musical intimacy, while creating a work even more ambitious in scope than his acclaimed 2004 release, Want Two. There is ravishing sound everywhere, yet it all serves to underscore Wainwright's own performance as commentator, confessor, leading man. On this grand scale, his brilliant, idiosyncratic gifts as a songwriter and vocalist come into even greater focus. The emotions are heightened; his stories more vivid, dramatic, funny, real, and at times very moving.
