HOT TIP: Rufus Wainwright Summer Tour Dates & New Album Release

Yesterday, Rufus Wainwright celebrated the release of his newest album, Release the Stars. I was lucky enough to catch some of the new tunes performed live at Coachella, where Rufus set the Mojave Tent on fire, holding his ecstatic crowd at rapt attention.

To honor the new album's release, I'm taking a page out of Geffen's playbook and using the opportunity to spread the word about his upcoming summer tour. If you've never seen Rufus live, you MUST get yourself out to a show. He's one of the most gifted - and hilarious - live performers out there. And if you've already got tix, props to you! Look for me up front on 6/5 and 6/6 at Gramercy. And Summerstage at Central Park on 8/19, too, if I'm lucky. Tickets go on sale this weekend!
