Rufus Wainwright, You Ain't Big (live), Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA, September 12, 2021 (4K)

Rufus Wainwright plays his song "You Ain't Big" live in concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California on September 12, 2021. You Ain't Big originally appeared on Wainwright's tenth studio album, Unfollow The Rules (2020). He said this about the song's composition: "I originally wrote 'You Ain’t Big' about the strange fact that in the music business worldwide until recently (our estimation has fallen considerably) no matter how well you’ve done anywhere else, if you couldn’t make it in the heartland of the US you weren’t really considered a true star. Think Little Richard, Elvis, the Beatles and Julio Iglesias. However, in releasing this song now which references states such as Alabama, North Carolina, Kansas (where I have had the pleasure of playing shows) and even New York and California, all troubled places during this tremendously turbulent time nationwide, the term 'You Ain’t Big' has taken on additional meanings. The song at heart is apolitical. Its vintage sound harkens back to the classical American country music sound of the 40s and 50s and with the help of opposing images in the video of how different life was for white people compared to black people in the 1950’s, as it has sadly remained, I think it rings appropriate for this time and professes a certain truth." Wainwright is promoting 2020's Unfollow The Rules release, a tour that was postponed for a year because of the pandemic. Joining him onstage were Brian Green (guitar), Jacob Mann (piano/keyboards), and Alan Hampton (bass). ================================= Unfollow The Rules live tour dates (2021): Sept. 9 - Los Angeles, CA @ Greek Theatre (w/ Aimee Mann) Sept. 10 - San Diego, CA @ Humphrey's By The Bay (w/ Aimee Mann) Sept. 12 - Saratoga, CA @ Mountain Winery (w/ Aimee Mann) Sept. 20 - Kansas City, MO @ Uptown Theater (w/ José González) Sept. 21 - Des Moines, IA @ Hoyt Sherman Place (w/ José González) Sept. 23 - Minneapolis, MN @ Northrop Memorial Auditorium (w/ José González) Sept. 24 - Chicago, IL @ Chicago Theatre (w/ José González) Sept. 25 - Carmel, IN @ The Palladium (w/ José González) Sept. 26 - Detroit, MI @ Masonic Temple (w/ José González) Sept. 28 - Washington, DC @ The Anthem (w/ José González) Sept. 29 - Boston, MA @ Orpheum Theatre (w/ José González) Sept. 30 - New York, NY @ The Rooftop at Pier 17 (w/ José González) Oct. 2 - Glenside, PA @ Keswick Theatre (w/ José González) Oct. 3 - Huntington, NY @ The Paramount Oct. 9 - Edinburgh, Scotland @ Usher Hall Oct. 10 - Manchester, England @ Bridgewater Hall Oct. 12 - Sheffield, England @ City Hall Oct. 13 - York, England @ Barbican Oct. 15 - Cambridge, England @ The Corn Exchange Oct. 17 - Southend-on-Sea, England @ Cliffs Pavilion Oct. 19 - London, England @ The London Palladium Oct. 20 - Brighton, England @ Brighton Dome =========================================== You Ain't Big lyrics: You ain’t big unless you’re big in Alabama Don’t know who you are unless you’ve made it in Topeka Gotta get back to Kansas or at least Southern North Carolina You ain’t big unless you’re big in Mississippi Don’t know who you are unless you made it in Wichita Gotta get back to Kansas Or at least Southern West Virginia Doo doo doo ….

The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer songwriter has released seven studio albums, three DVDs, and three live albums, including the fantastic Grammy nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall, which captured his celebrated Judy Garland tribute performance at the London Palladium in 2007, and the album Release The Stars which went Gold in Canada and the UK. Wainwright received Juno Awards for Best Alternative Album in 1999 and 2002 for Rufus Wainwright and Poses, respectively, and nominations for his albums Want Two (2005) and Release the Stars (2008). He was nominated for Songwriter of the Year in 2008 for his Release the Stars album. In addition to being a celebrated contemporary pop singer, Rufus has made a name for himself in the classical world. His much acclaimed first opera, titled Prima Donna, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009. His latest release, Unfollow The Rules, finds Rufus Wainwright at the peak of his powers, entering artistic maturity with passion, honesty and a new-found fearlessness, while remaining as mischievous as ever.
