Aimee Mann holiday show in LA Dec. 9-12

AIMEE MANN ADDS NEW DATE TO HOLIDAY VARIETY SHOW AT LARGO AT THE CORONET IN LOS ANGELES
December 9, 10, 11 & 12

This years special guests included Michael Penn, Patton Oswalt, Paul F. Tompkins, Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel, Rich Sommer and other surprises!

Aimee Mann announces the return of her annual holiday extravaganza for the fifth year in a row. Fresh off of the road from her fall tour, Aimee will bring back her fan favorite Christmas variety show at the legendary Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles on December 9-12.

Mann’s homage to the holiday variety show of yore has consistently played to sold-out crowds across the U.S, featuring a mixture of music from One More Drifter in the Snow, hosting comedians Paul F. Tompkins, Patton Oswalt and Fred Armisen along with special drop-in guests that have included Jackson Browne, John C. Reilly, Amos Lee, Chuck Prophet, Rachel Yamagata, Nellie McKay, Josh Ritter, Ben Lee, Ben Gibbard, comedienne Morgan Murphy and fellow singer-songwriter Grant Lee Phillips. The New York Times has described the holiday pageant as “Delightful…a Santa-stupefying balance of naughty and nice…with the giddy warmth of an eggnog buzz. Hangover included of course.”

One More Drifter in the Snow, Aimee Mann's first Christmas CD released through her own SuperEgo Records, has continued to be a holiday standard with O magazine hailing it as an “intimate take on the season too brilliantly affecting for strangers.” Aimee explains, “I wanted to do a Christmas record that reflected the whole range of emotions that people have around Christmas. I thought a lot about the feeling I had about Christmas as a kid, the almost spooky beauty and mystery that the holiday has, and wanted to do something that echoed that musically.”

“For those of us who wrestle with warring impulses -- bah, humbug the holidays or succumb to the twinkly lights -- Aimee Mann has created an old-fashioned Christmas variety show that reminds us that it's possible to have our cynicism and eat our fruitcake too.”- Boston Globe.
