TORI AMOS returns to West Palm Beach launching her Ocean to Ocean US Tour at the Kravis Center on Saturday, June 17, 2023   Ocean to Ocean Out Now via Decca Records   Tori Amos Photo Credit: Desmond Murray   Praise for the ‘Ocean to Ocean’ Tour: “It’s hard to recall a recent live performance as virtuosic as Tori Amos.” – Houston Press   “…fresh, funk-kissed arrangements (…) added depth, danceability and dynamic grooves” – Magnet Magazine     (West Palm Beach, Fl. – January 31, 2023) – Today, trailblazing musician, author and activist Tori Amos announced a US tour this summer to continue celebration of her highly acclaimed 2021 album, Ocean to Ocean.  Tori Amos will launch her Ocean to Ocean US Tour at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, June 17, 2023.

Ocean to Ocean received widespread acclaim by fans and media alike, earning support from Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum, SPIN, NPR, PBS NewsHour Weekend, and many others. The record debuted at #2 on the Billboard Current Alternative Albums Chart and #6 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, marking her tenth “Top 10” appearance. The album is Amos’ most personal work in years – bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest songwriting. As communities around the world suffered the loss of life, live music, travel, and much at all to observe, Tori had a difficult time during the pandemic. She descended to an emotional state lower than she had been to for a long time – but the depths became creative, forcing a return to the kind of introspection she recognised from her debut album Little Earthquakes. The new collection is an expression of kinship and love, of emotional and geographical dislocation. It explores environmental concerns, the restraints of the pandemic for those on the cusp of adulthood, empowerment, loss & healing delivered with Tori’s trademark urgency and passion. Ocean to Ocean is out digitally everywhere and can be purchased as a CD or a beautiful vinyl package here. Amos recently released her new graphic novel Little Earthquakes: The Graphic Album, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough album, Little Earthquakes. Released in partnership with Z2 Comics, the project is a sequel to her first graphic novel, Comic Book Tattoo. The book demonstrates the lasting influence of Amos’ debut album, which established her iconic thematic voice, as well as her live intensity behind the keys, with unflinching lyrics and songs that would inspire generations of artists and musicians. The graphic novel demonstrates her lasting influence with 24 stories inspired by the 12 songs on the album, as well as 12 ‘B-sides’ that accompanied the album. Copies are available for purchase here.

THIRD PERFORMANCE ADDED –

 

JERRY SEINFELD LIVE

 

 

FRIDAY, March 17 at 7:00 p.m.

 

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (December 9, 2022) The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and JS Touring announced today that a third performance has been added to Jerry Seinfeld’s run at the Kravis Center on March 17, 2023, at 7:00 p.m.

    America’s premier comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, comes to the Kravis Center to perform his newest stand-up routine March 17 and 18, 2023, for a total of three performances. Seinfeld has been hailed for his uncanny ability to joke about the little things in life that relate to audiences everywhere.

  Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy career took off after his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1981. Eight years later, he teamed up with fellow comedian Larry David to create what was to become the most successful comedy series in the history of television: “Seinfeld.” The show ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe and People’s Choice awards, and was named the greatest television show of all time in 2009 by TV Guide, and in 2012 was identified as the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll.

  His latest Emmy nominated Netflix projects include “Jerry Before Seinfeld” and “23 Hours to Kill” along with the highly acclaimed web series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” Seinfeld recently announced his upcoming film Unfrosted and continues to perform both nationally and internationally.
