Rufus Wainwright tickets are now available and can be bought or sold at StubHub.com. Like Sean Lennon, Jeff Buckley or Jakob Dylan, Rufus Wainwright has had to suffer through countless comparisons to his father and his father’s work. But Loudon Wainwright III was his own artist; so is his son, Rufus. Certainly both have similarities. In the singer/songwriter tradition, it’s natural that some folk or acoustic work is bound to come up. Critics have found plenty to like in his work over the years, and Wainwright has scored many hits off his albums since his debut in 1998. That’s probably why Rufus Wainwright tickets are still hot items. By the time he was a teenager, Wainwright was touring with his mother, aunt and sister as a family act. Even early on, he had prodigious musical talent, and it was clear that there would be plenty of success to be found in his musical future. One interesting twist about Wainwright that many people don’t know is that in his late teens, while many music fans are developing tastes for indie bands or classic rock, Wainwright was mining opera. In that medium, he found music and drama blended together, and he loved it. The sensibilities and theatricality of opera would later become very noticeable on his own albums. Singers of the past such as Edith Piaf and Al Jolsen became his idols. In time, he would move on to rock and pop music, and started playing local gigs. His 1998 self-titled debut album was hailed by critics as the arrival of another Wainwright talent, and rocketed to the top of many best-of-the-year lists. The album stood out because it didn’t fit into any of the genres or musical trends of the day. It’s influences were the theater and cabaret of the early 20th century, and that gave it a unique style and feel unlike anything else. Rufus Wainwright had arrived. Wainwright’s music, theatrical as it is, could easily be set to film. In fact, the cinema has been his new field to play in. His music has appeared in films such as The Aviator, Brokeback Mountain, Shrek and Moulin Rouge. It’s easy to understand why Rufus Wainwright tickets sell so fast.
