A master storyteller with a razor-sharp wit and a remarkable gift for finding humor and heartbreak in everyday life, he has built a body of work unlike anyone else's in contemporary folk music.Since bursting onto the scene with the 1972 hit "Dead Skunk," Loudon has released more than 30 albums, earned a Grammy Award, and inspired generations of songwriters with songs that are by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, self-deprecating, and profoundly insightful. His music has been recorded by artists including Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Rufus Wainwright, while his acting career has included roles in films by Martin Scorsese, Christopher Guest, Tim Burton, and Judd Apatow, as well as appearances on M.A.S.H. and Broadway.Now in his sixth decade as a performer, Loudon continues to write and tour with the curiosity, honesty, and sharp observational eye that have made him one of folk music's most enduring voices. His latest release, Loudon Live in London, captures an artist still at the top of his game, delivering songs that are as poignant and funny today as ever.SAMPLE SONGWhether reflecting on family, aging, love, loss, or the absurdities of modern life, Loudon invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and recognize themselves in his songs. His concerts are intimate conversations as much as performances, filled with unforgettable stories, impeccable musicianship, and the unmistakable charm of a true troubadour.Join us for an evening with one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time, whose songs continue to remind us that life's greatest truths are often found in its smallest moments.Joining Loudon is singer – songwriter Emily Barnes.“​Emily Barnes is more than just a musician; she’s a storyteller that sets the lives of her characters to music.” – Divide and ConquerEmily Barnes writes songs that find the extraordinary in ordinary lives.Raised in the tiny town of Johnsonburg, New Jersey, she began writing songs on the stone steps of her family's 200-year-old home. Since then, she's built a devoted following the old-fashioned way—one performance, one story, and one listener at a time.Her contemporary folk songs are filled with memorable characters, honest observations, and a voice that is both powerful and deeply expressive. Whether she's writing about love, resilience, or the quiet moments that shape our lives, Barnes has a gift for making deeply personal stories feel universal.A winner of the 2025 Hey Nonny Songwriting Contest and the 2026 COMBO Music Songwriting Contest, Barnes is quickly becoming one of folk music's most compelling new voices.Emily Barnes opens the evening for Loudon Wainwright III, bringing thoughtful songwriting and heartfelt storytelling to the Caffè Lena stage.Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
