RUFUS WAINWRIGHT ANNOUNCES 2nd ANNUAL “BLACKOUTSABBATH” CONCERT : TO PROMOTE ENERGY CONSERVATION INITIATIVE

FAMILY AND FRIENDS CONCERT TO BE PERFORMED WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

One of the most important voices of the last decade, Rufus Wainwright is spearheading a grassroots energy conservation initiative to help save the planet and its environment. Wainwright is suggesting that people turn off all electricity and refrain from all energy expending activities that could harm the environment for twelve hours on June 20, 2009 (noon to midnight). He’s dubbed the no energy day Blackoutsabbath.

To raise awareness for Blackoutsabbath, a concert billed as Rufus Wainwright, Family and Friends will take place on March 4th at City Winery on Varick St. in New York City. The show will be staged and performed completely without electricity. Scheduled to appeared to appear with Wainwright for this second annual event will be Teddy Thompson, Jenni Muldaur, Lucy Wainwright Roche and Sloan Wainwright with others to be announced.

Blackoutsabbath was partially inspired by Rufus’ love of New York’s blackout of 2003 which Wainwright says he found, “incredibly invigorating, spiritual and practical at the same time: we all had to pay attention to each other!” He also feels action must be taken. “Basically, all the money in the world can’t really solve this problem. In fact, I think it only makes things worse. It has to be a grassroots movement!” Just added special guest Sean Lennon!
