Tori Amos in Vancouver 2011
byTori Amos is returning to Vancouver to play the Orpheum on December 13th. Performing most of her life and touring relentlessly since 1991, Rolling Stone has voted her one of the best live performers of all time.
Tori Amos’s latest release and debut on Deutsche Grammophon Night of Hunters is a 21st century song-cycle, inspired by classical music from the last 400 years.
Following the idea of the classical song-cycle, the all-new songs from Night of Hunters tell an ongoing contemporary story. Its central character is a woman ending a long relationship, allowing the listener to follow her on a journey over the course of one night to explore complex musical and emotional themes.
Tickets go on sale through this Friday at 10:00am for $39.50, $69.50 and $89.50 through Live Nation, Ticketmaster or the Rogers Wireless Box Office. In the meantime, I have a pair of tickets to give away this week. Here’s how you can enter to win:
I will draw one winner at 9:45am this Friday, July 22, 2011.
Update The winner is Stacey (@CakeScrapps) – congratulations!

I would give these tickets to my best est friend in the whole wide world who lives in Vancouver and WHOSE BIRTHDAY is 2 days later. She would die! =)
I love Tori Ames. Her song “A Sorta Fairytale” is my favourite.
Crucify. (Yep, I’m an oldschol fan.)
I love Tori Amos, and so does my husband! My favorite is probably “Little Earthquakes”, although I think I could listen to her sing the phone book.
Cornflake Girl!
Mr. Zebra!!! It’s a short-but-sweet little song and I’ve always loved it. And I’ve always wanted to see it performed live!

But my fave is “Me and a Gun”

Caught a Lite Sneeze, the very first Tori Amos song I ever heard when I was but a wee lass. Subsequently, I bought all her CDs, except for the ones from the Y Kant Tori Read era.
