Jim Brickman unveils holiday tour schedule
Pianist Jim Brickman --who recently announced plans for a tour to support his forthcoming holiday release, "Peace"--has filled in most of the blanks for the holiday-season outing.
After finishing up a round of shows earlier this month, Brickman takes a break until early October, when he returns to the road for a handful of October and November performances. The bulk of his schedule is concentrated in December, and hits theater-sized venues throughout the U.S.
The 13 tracks on "Peace" feature "'Brickmanized' versions of classic holiday favorites, according to a press release, including "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Jingle Bells" and "We Three Kings. Guest vocalists who appear on the set include The Blind Boys of Alabama, Anne Cochran, Tracy Silverman and "Today Show" pop-idol finalist Kristy Starling, who sings on a new cut titled "Sending You a Little Christmas."
Also featured on the album is Collin Raye, who turns up on the title track, "Peace (Where the Heart Is)." Fans can download an MP3 version of the song from Brickman's website.
The site also features an MP3 of "American Idol" finalist Clay Aiken's recent performance of Brickman's "Love of My Life."
Due to hit stores the same day as the new album is a songbook, also titled "Peace," which features sheet music for the songs found on the album.
"Peace" is the follow-up to last year's "Love Songs and Lullabies."
