NARROWSBURG, NY — Prolific American folk singer Loudon Wainwright III, who has earned a cult following with his witty, self-mocking style and humorous lyrics, will play the Tusten Theatre, 210 Bridge St., on Friday, June 19 at 8 p.m.

The son of a writer and editor at Life magazine, Wainwright began his career in the late ‘60s, singing humorous and nakedly honest autobiographical songs. Since then he has released 26 studio albums, and in 2010 won the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album for “High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project.” Earlier this year, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC’s Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Wainwright III has made many film and television appearances. His most notable role was as Captain Calvin Spalding (the “singing surgeon”) on three episodes of “M*A*S*H.” He also had parts in films like “The Aviator,” “Big Fish,” “Knocked Up” and the TV series “Undeclared.”

This concert is sponsored by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. Tickets cost $30 ($25 in advance) and are on sale at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St., or by phone at 845/252-7272. Visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org or www.lw3.com.
