Grammy-winning Lucinda Williams playing two nights in San Antonio starting Tuesday

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams is playing two consecutive nights at Stable Hall starting this Tuesday.

Tuesday's performance will be the only Texas show in which Williams will present a musical analog to her New York Times best-selling memoir Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets. The "book show" will include short films, photos and other surprises "recounting the singular moments of her career" according to the Facebook event.

Tuesday's show also will feature songs performed with Williams' full band. That performance is fully seated, and tickets start at $59.

Williams' second night at Stable Hall is dubbed "A Lucinda Rock Show," and promises to feature hits from her vast catalogue. General admission for that performance is standing room only, and tickets start at $35.

As one of the most decorated female singer-songwriters in music history, Williams garnered her first Grammy for Best Country Song in 1994 for the track "Passionate Kisses," covered by Mary Chapin Carpenter. Williams originally recorded the song for her Americana album Lucinda Williams.


Critical acclaim came before commercial success for Williams, but the mainstream finally paid attention with the 1998 album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. The album includes the singles "Right in Time" and the Grammy-nomated "Can't Let Go," Williams' biggest single to date. The album won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

Williams won a 2002 Grammy for the single "Get Right With God" off her album Essence. That Grammy was for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

The album itself earned even more Grammy nominations, including Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Essence was Williams' first Top 40 album, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard 200.
