August 5, 2022—Regina Spektor recently stopped at NPR Music to perform at Tiny Desk concert; Watch/share her performance of “Loveology,” “Becoming All Alone,” “Après Moi,” “Fidelity,” “Samson,” and a new original “Tiny Song” HERE. Bob Boilen at NPR Music describes “what unfolds over the course of the next five songs is the humor and passions I've loved in Regina Spektor's music since receiving an early release of her Soviet Kitsch CD in 2004. Now 18 years later, Regina has made what I believe is her most astonishing record to date, Home, before and after.”
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Spektor is gearing up to release a special, limited edition box set of her self-released debut album 11:11, along with a 2xLP collection of live performances entitled Papa's Bootlegs.
Today, she unveils “Back of A Truck” from 11:11—Listen/share HERE to a live performance, YouTube HERE for the studio edition and pre-order the album HERE.
The box set includes a remastered vinyl edition of 11:11Papa's Bootlegs which includes never before heard or released songs from the 11:11 era—recorded by Regina's father—a full color lyric booklet with liner notes, reproductions of original fliers, art, doodles and photos. The album cover for Papa’s Bootlegs was hand drawn by Spektor’s friend Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers.
11:11 comes fresh off the heels of her critically acclaimed new studio album Home, before and after. She’ll be hitting the road on a fall US tour in support of the album, set to kick off October 9 in Chicago with stops in 13 cities. Spektor will also be playing at Planet Bluegrass Festival in Lyons, CO on September 16. Complete list of dates below and more info/tickets HERE.
Watch performances on The View and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, listen to interviews with New Yorker Radio Hour and NPR Weekend Edition, read interviews with Vanity FairThe Creative Independent plus more praise in interactive quote sheet HERE.
Regina Spektor is synonymous with New York City. The Russian-Jewish-American singer, songwriter and pianist got her own Sign on the Bronx Walk of Fame, as well as “Regina Spektor Day,” (June 11, 2019) proclaimed by Mayor Bill DeBlasio. The Grammy Award nominee first saw commercial success with the RIAA Gold-certified LP Begin to Hope which includes the singles “On the Radio,” “Better” and “Samson,” as well as “Fidelity” which climbed the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Spektor’s fifth album, Far (2009), and sixth album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats (2012), both debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Spektor has performed at The White House as well as on Broadway, “Saturday Night Live” and contributed to many projects spanning film, television, and music including The Hamilton Mixtape.
