‘Lindsey Stirling’ will soon be coming to JAX

Critically acclaimed and multi-award winning electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling announced today her upcoming “Warmer in the Winter Christmas Tour 2019 in support of her highly successful holiday albums Warmer in the Winter and Warmer in the Winter: Deluxe Edition.  The multi-city trek will include a number of major cities across Canada and the US including: Ontario, Phoenix, Charlotte, Newark, Greenville, Orlando, Milwaukee, San Jose, and a stop in Jacksonville, FL at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts- Moran Theater.

This blogger has had the pleasure of seeing & hearing Lindsey perform in JAX with Celtic Woman and she is marvelous.  It will be Lindsey’s third Christmas tour to date, and she will bring back her successful holiday show featuring elaborate festive themes as well Stirling’s signature brand of dance routines and on-stage visuals.  This year’s set list will feature an array of holiday classics including: “I Wonder as I Wander,” “Santa Baby,” and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” as well as some of Stirling’s original tracks including: “Christmas C’mon” and “Warmer in the Winter.”

About Lindsey Stirling: Lindsey Stirling remains fearless enough to always dream big. In the near decade since the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic violinist, dancer, and artist has quietly and humbly become one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars.  With the release of her highly anticipated new single "Underground" out June 21st, and an album to follow this fall, the music impresario is once again set to deliver her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music.   Her literary debut The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became a New York Times Bestseller.

Lindsey’s third-studio album Brave Enough, debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart, went on to score the #1 spot on Billboard’s year-end Top Dance/Electronic Album list and earned Stirling a 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Album.  In 2017, Lindsey was the runner-up on Season 25 of ABC’s hit show “Dancing with the Stars” with her partner Mark Ballas.  That same year, she released her first ever holiday album titled Warmer in the Winter, featuring classic holiday and original songs.  The album went on to become the #1 new Christmas release of 2017, ahead of pop music heavyweights Gwen Stefani and Sia, and was the best-selling new holiday album of that year with over 40 million spins on Pandora.

A revamped version, Warmer in the Winter: Deluxe Edition, released in 2018, and held a firm top 10 spot on the Holiday Albums chart for an impressive 8-weeks straight.  In the summer of 2018, Stirling rocked fans on her highly praised co-heading North American tour with rock heavyweights, Evanescence.  Becoming one of Live Nation’s 10 best-selling amphitheater tours of last summer, both acts delivered high energy sets accompanied by a full orchestra.  Stirling is the model of a modern independent recording artist, with a symbiotic relationship with her fans.  A motivational speaker in her spare time, Stirling uses her own story to show teenagers that you have to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up.
