Early Southern recording star Charlie Poole had a profound effect on Loudon Wainwright III's music development, hence LW's recent tribute High, Wide & Handsome (Second Story). Wainwright says his opening set at the Keswick on Friday will be a mixture of his own songs and some of the Poole material he renders with love and laughter. "The ratio has yet to be determined." With Hot Tuna headlining, it's a big night for roots.

Fri., Dec. 4, 8 p.m., $29-$37, with Hot Tuna, Keswick Theatre, 291 N. Keswick Ave, Glenside, 215-572-7650, keswicktheatre.com.
