Spend the Holidays with Tori Amos - New MIDWINTER GRACES Album

      MUSIC NEWS -  Tori Amos has announced the release her first seasonal / holiday album, Midwinter Graces, on November 10 (via Universal Republic). MG follows up Tori’s critically (and fan) acclaimed studio album, the top selling,  Abnormally Attracted to Sin, and you'll find Tori reworking and expanding on classic carols as well as developing some of her very own seasonal tracks.

Midwinter Graces is an album that has been in the making for the past 40 years. Raised in the Baltimore. MD area under the watchful eye of her Methodist minister father, Tori grew up playing holiday carols at Sunday services and Christmas Day celebrations in her father’s church. These were the songs that gave a young Tori her first taste of music, and now almost 40 years later Tori gets her own chance to reimagine classics like “What Child, Nowell” and “Star of Wonder.” Tori will also add her own bittersweet bliss to the season with originally tracks like “Pink and Glitter” and “Our New Year.” 

For Midwinter Graces, Amos has again teamed up with her collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars. Tori has enlisted the help of a Big Band and an Orchestra with stunning John Philip Shenale arrangements to create Tori’s new seasonal classics.
