| Wainwright was born in Rhinebeck, New York, to folk singers Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III.[1][2] His parents divorced when he was three, and he lived with his mother in Montreal, Canada for most of his youth. Wainwright is both a U.S and Canadian citizen.[3] He attended high school at the Millbrook School in New York (which would later inspire his song "Millbrook"), and later briefly studied piano at Concordia and McGill Universities in Montreal. He began playing the piano at age six, and started touring at 13 with "The McGarrigle Sisters and Family", a folk group featuring Rufus, his sister Martha, his mother Kate, and aunt Anna. His song "I'm a-Runnin'", which he performed in the film Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller at the age of 14, earned him a nomination for a 1989 Genie Award for Best Original Song.[4] He was nominated for a 1990 Juno Award for Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year animeMyLabuan Hosting Specializing in We | |
