It's that time of year again-mistletoe, snow, funny sweaters, mulled wine, and music, of course. Communion's Christmas Special begins in December celebrating 2013 and featuring performances by Rosco Bandana and support from local artists, with further holiday merriment including DJ sets and carol singers. Tickets are on sale now at www.communionmusic.com. A special holiday discounted ticket will be offered at $5, except in Philadelphia where they'll be sold at that price with a Toys for Tots donation (otherwise $10).
Modeled on the legendary Communion night in Notting Hill, London where the company was born-the club night series brings different artists to nine cities each month: New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Bloomington, Louisville, Nashville, Minneapolis, Madison and Rock Island. The club nights will return each month with a new lineup to be announced. See below for full tour routing. Communion was formed in London in 2006 by musicians Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons), Kevin Jones (Bear's Den), and producer Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Beautiful South). Following the underground success achieved in London, the club night moved first to Brighton and then gradually to 15 cities in the U.K. and U.S. with a further outpost in Melbourne, Australia. And it was from the relationships and experiences forged at those Communion nights, that Communion Records, Communion Presents and, most recently, Communion Publishing were born.COMMUNION PRESENTS TOUR DATES
