Unrepentant Singer
Tori Amos returns to Austin and her pop rock roots with summer concert tour
The original Cornflake Girl herself, Tori Amos is coming to The Long Center on July 30, 2014, as part of her Unrepentant Geraldines tour.
The North American leg of the tour starts July 16 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and hits 28 cities, including Dallas on July 29. The tour is named after Amos' 14th album, which is scheduled to be released May 12.
Amos' last couple of albums, Night of Hunters and Gold Dust, delved deeply into classical music, making her a good fit for a venue that normally houses opera, theater and other arts. In fact, the last time she came to Austin in 2011, it was with her Night of Hunters tour that prominently featured a string quartet.
Unrepentant Geraldines, though, is said to be a return to Amos' pop rock roots for which she became famous in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Tickets for the Austin date officially go on sale Friday, March 7, but anyone who pre-orders her new album will receive a special code that gives them access to a March 4 pre-sale.
