Lucky fans of Tori Amos got the chance to check out a super intimate performance yesterday with the pre-purchase of her latest album titled Unrepentant Geraldines. Her newest album is her 14th studio release and will be dropping on May 13. The in-store event happened at the Rough Trade NYC performance space which recently reopened after a long hiatus due to acoustic issues. The passionate crowd cheered and wept as Tori Amos, seated at her piano, performed a short but sweet set of songs including two new tracks, “Selkie” and “Trouble’s Lament.” Tori started the set with “Parasol” and continued with “Strange” after an impromptu song about a cord getting tangled on her high heeled shoe. Later in the set, she made up a funny song about having to now wear glasses. Tori Amos is a weird one, and I do mean that in a loving way. “Ribbons Undone” was also performed and early on, she took it back to 1992 with “Take It To The Sky” which was a b-side to “Winter” from the album Little Earthquakes. She sounded amazing and I’m digging the glasses! Tori stuck around to sign autographs and take photos with fans.
Tori Amos will be embarking on an ambitious summer tour which will take her all over Europe, Russia, South Africa and North America. She’ll be back in New York City on August 12 and 13 when she plays The Beacon Theatre for a sure not to be missed performance. Be sure to check out her website for details on the upcoming tour.
