It’s August and singer/songwriter Aimee Mann has been on tour since June, but that hasn’t kept her from making plans for her annual Christmas tour, now entering its third year.
This year’s holiday outing starts with its only West Coast show on December 6 in Los Angeles, CA, at The Wiltern. The remaining dates are booked through December 19 in Tarrytown, NY, at the Music Hall. More shows are anticipated.
Conceived in 2006 with her holiday inspired album, “One More Drifter in the Snow,” Mann has constructed a tour that incorporates various comedic hosts and fellow musicians who vary from town town. Last year’s tour featured host Paul F. Tompkins and guest appearances from Jackson Browne, Nellie McKay, Ben Lee, Ben Gibbard, Patrick Park, Sean Hayes, Chuck Prophet, Josh Ritter, Joe Henry, Grant Lee Phillips, members of The Decemberists, and Morgan Murphy.
Currently touring in support of her seventh studio album, “@#%&* Smilers,” Mann will appear with Squeeze on five dates, August 28 to September 3, followed by seven solo shows before taking off for a European jaunt, October 18 to November 10.
