Portland’s Pink Martini is celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year. The festivities include a massive North American tour and the release of new music this Summer and Fall. Today they share the first of the new music, their take on the 1947 single “I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out.” The band – known for its eclectic blend of classical, jazz, and Latin music –  recorded the song with the iconic Mamie Van Doren in 2021 (she was 90 at the time), and about the recording project, Van Doren shared “I am just ecstatic about this release!”

The B-side for the single, “Ich dich liebe”, was originally sung by Van Doren in the spaghetti western Freddy und das Lied der Prärie in 1964. Pink Martini originally released the song on their album Get Happy with the band’s China Forbes on vocals. “I Told Ya I Love Ya Now Get Out!” will be released on 7” vinyl on November 1.

Pink Martini’s live show is acclaimed around the world and it’s no surprise that touring is a big part of their 30th Anniversary celebration. Their captivating performances feature various musical styles, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all who attend. After touring Europe and the Middle East this Spring and Summer, they now turn their sights on North America with a tour that includes a 2-night stand at Hollywood Bowl on August 23 and 24 and a stop at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on October 14.  The band will celebrate their anniversary with a show on October 13 at Symphony Hall in Boston. That show and their stop at New York City’s Carnegie Hall on November 1 will include special guests, still to be announced. The tour starts with a hometown show at Edgefield in Portland, OR on August 17.  China Forbes will be on the road with the band for the entire run and Edna Vazquez will join as a guest singer.
