Tower of Power Announce Christmas Album And Tour

(PR) East Bay funk, soul, and R&B legends Tower of Power have announced the release of It's Christmas, their first-ever full-length Christmas album of their 56-year career available on all digital streaming platforms & CD on September 27th with vinyl released on October 25th. To celebrate, the group will embark on a 15-date Holidays and Hits tour in December.

The Holidays and Hits tour will usher in the holiday season with festive repertoire on the 11-track album blended with celebrated hits extending the band's robust catalog including "What is Hip?" "You're Still a Young Man," and more. Fans new and old can expect an unforgettable spirited live performance driven by the band's signature horn-powered melodies and infectious vocals.

Speaking to the anticipation surrounding the band's holiday activities, founder & bandleader Emilio Castilo shares, "Preparing the It's Christmas album and the corresponding Holidays and Hits Tour was truly a labor of love. Beginning with Joe Vannelli's super creative take on some of the greatest Christmas and Holiday hits ever to Dave Eskridge's Towerific arrangements to the artwork within the albums themselves and the theaters in which we'll be performing this winter, every step of this project was meticulously thought through with the Tower of Power universe in mind. The title track is a ToP Christmas original written by Kupka/Castillo back in the early 70's. It's our great pleasure to bring Christmas and holiday music - with a Tower of Power spin - into our fans' homes for generations to come."
