Creatively\, he put pop music aside and concentrated on his other interests\, from his Grammy-nominated recreation of Judy Garland& rsquo\;s fabled Carnegie Hall concert to the 2009 premiere of his opera \, \;Prima Donna. Wainwright&rsquo\;s personal life has been even m ore dramatic\, witnessing the birth of his daughter\, Viva\; the death of his mother\, singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle\; and his engagement to partner Jorn Weisbrodt.\nAll of these experiences inform his seventh studio album\, \;Out of the Game\, along with the input of a new co llaborator\, celebrated producer Mark Ronson. The results are the loose st\, most accessible music of Wainwright&rsquo\;s career\, retaining hi s distinctive narrative sense and wry wit while adding classic pop plea sures.\n&ldquo\;What I wanted was a warmth and a depth in terms of quali ty of sound\, and a certain clarity that&rsquo\;s still easy on the ear s\,&rdquo\; he says. &ldquo\;I&rsquo\;ve done that whole ponderous\, ps eudo-genius thing\, so it was fun to get in there and work really fast and do something that was more about the songs.&rdquo\; URL:http://clevelandheights.patch.com/events/grog-shop-presents-house-of- blues-rufus-wainwright-adam-cohen SUMMARY:Grog Shop presents @ House of Blues: Rufus Wainwright / Adam Cohe n LOCATION:Grog Shop: 2785 Euclid Heights Blvd\, Cleveland\, OH END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
