Rufus Wainwright and Ingrid Michaelson show off new sounds

Published July 23, 2012 4:00am ET



Rufus Wainwright is the son of two famous folk singers, but don’t expect his concert to be an ode to that format.

The son of the late Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III certainly writes about his parents and other famous family members, but his work is more classical mixed with Judy Garland pop than any Woody Guthrie folk. Fans will hear that on his latest album, “Out of the Game,” produced by Mark Ronson.
