[DID NOT ATTEND: October 1, 2026] Loudon Wainwright III / Wesley Stace
Loudon Wainwright III has been playing pretty and also pretty funny music for decades. I discovered him about twenty years ago and quickly became a fan of his work.
His newer material deals more with old age than his earlier stuff but it’s still enjoyable. I’m sure he would play songs from throughout his career. Recent setlists show he plays stuff from all over his catalog.
He plays Sellersville every year or so and I never seem to be able to catch him. This poster on the right is for a different show, but it’s the same billing with Wesley Stace.
Tonight’s show was up against Ted Leo who I really wanted to see with my wife.
Wesley Stace once recorded under the pseudonym John Wesley Harding and released some 20 albums. These albums bear a resemblance to Elvis Costello because he shared some of the members of The Attractions and also because his singing voice has the same arch tone and timbre as Costello’s. I saw him open for Steven Page back in 2018 and loved his set so much I bought a novel of his as well.
This is a great double bill and I’m bummed I couldn’t make it.
UPDATE: I received an email today that Loudon Wainwright had to reschedule this show. But Wesley Stace was still performing.
$15 POP UP SHOW TONIGHT WITH WESLEY STACE!
What else do you have going on? Come on out!
There is a great new show this evening! Singer songwriter Wesley Stace (aka famously as John Wesley Harding) will perform a full concert. Wesley Stace has performed at Sellersville Theater before and is loved by the staff. Tickets are available now for $15 and the show is general admission. Come by, bring friends, and enjoy a night out!
I would have loved to support him. But, hey, he announced a free at noon for next week so…
