Lucinda Williams Might Be The Mother Teresa Of Touring
It’s easy to hate high ticket prices at shows, especially with the economy descending even more fully into the crapper, and at this point, I don’t even spend a second browsing merch stands at shows. I enjoy sporting an ill-fitting t-shirt as much as anyone, but when the opportunity to promote across my chest a band I enjoyed for a month or so crossed the $30 barrier, I checked out. To her credit, however, critical fav Lucinda Williams is giving concertgoers a break: If you buy a ticket for one of her upcoming shows, you’ll receive a voucher for seven dollars off clothing items and five bucks off a disc at her merch counter. I imagine Lucinda is reeling a bit from the piracy age (although probably not quite as much as other artists out there), and this reasonable effort to create a win/win for her and the fan is laudable.
