Regina Spektor announced today the dates for her upcoming tour, A Very Special Solo Performance. The tour will span from October 20th until November 19th, across the country from Tuscon, Arizona, to New Haven, Connecticut.
Spektor, who just completed a sold-out tour in the spring of this year, has garnered widespread acclaim for her newest album, Remember Us To Life from Sire/Warner Bros. Records. The album can be purchased or streamed here. Some of the most prestigious publications praising Spektor’s album include NPR, Esquire, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, and People.
Esquire refers to Spektor as “Our generation’s Joni Mitchell,” noting that the artist “has long made a habit of spinning fictional, winding tales into songs that utilize humor and absurdity for the purpose of pointed social commentary. Her new LP is no different.” Rolling Stone seconds Esquire in describing Spektor’s storytelling; “A pop eccentric wraps underdog storytelling in brilliant songcraft.” Other descriptions of Spektor’s tour include such affectations as “soul-moving,” and “whimsical.”
If two tours in one year isn’t enough, fans will be pleased to hear Spektor as a guest artist on upcoming records from ODESZA and Gogol Bordello. Spektor has also in projects spanning all forms of musical entertainment, such as The Hamilton Mixtape, and Orange Is The New Black, spurring the NY Post to describe her as “a key reference point in American pop culture.”
