Pegi Young has played many roles: backup singer (touring with Neil Young’s band since 2000), mother (Pegi and Neil Young have been married for 27 and raised three children), and caring philanthropist (Pegi co-founded the Bridge School in 1985, an institution that supports students with complex communicational and physical needs).
Recently, her musical path has led her to begin her own solo project, Pegi Young and The Survivors, who have most recently been on tour since August this year. I had a chance to sit down and get to know Young before her show tonight at the Jefferson Theater for the Interlocken festival. Tickets are $20 at the door which opens at 7pm.

There’s something both charming and admirable about an artist who is not afraid to embrace a genre’s conventions and use them as a canvas for expression. Acts like Wilco, My Morning Jacket and singer-songwriter Matthew Houck’s side project Phosphorescent lean heavily on a certain aspect of their songs: familiarity. Anyone can croon over three chords of country blues, but there’s something intensely personal and sympathetic about absolute bare-facedness of an album like Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Even in a crowd of so-called hipsters, I entered the floor of the Jefferson Theater Feb. 4 with a sense of smugness unparalleled by any other concertgoer there. I had already seen Jeff Mangum, frontman and writer for Neutral Milk Hotel, more than a year ago, so I knew what to expect and thought it’d be hard to top my previous experience. But it was this very cynicism and sense of ownership of Mangum’s music that kept me from enjoying the show in Charlottesville — at least until I learned to drop my misgivings and enjoy the show just like everyone else.
