Wow - I'm actually glad that I'm down in Florida this week, so I don't have to decide which shows I'm going to see in town. As if there isn't enough going on already this weekend, Martha Wainwright is going to be at the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Newburyport on Friday night, July 11. To those not hip to this future starlet, she is the sister of Rufus Wainwright (one of my favorite performers), which means she's the daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, both amazing performers in their own right.

Martha is a singer/songwriter, more known for her live performances than her recordings, and with a voice that elicits chills. Her new album, I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too, is getting great reviews, and the Firehouse's intimate setting is the perfect venue for her show. I've never seen her solo, but I've had the chance to see her with bro Rufus, and their live version of his beautiful song "One Man Guy" was breathtaking.

If you're within 20 miles of Newburyport on Friday night, drop in and see Martha Wainwright live. It'll be a beautiful thing. The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $25.
