Rising artist Ava Della Pietra’s new single has all the ingredients of a Christmas classic
Every year around this time, artists and bands from around the country release holiday music. And while we don’t usually cover Christmas releases, Ava Della Pietra deserves your attention – she certainly caught ours. Listen to Ava’s new single “Christmas Tonight” here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhv7E389IY&feature=youtu.be
Ava is a preternaturally accomplished and talented young artist who began performing at age four and writing songs at age five. She taught herself to play a mind-boggling number of instruments after starring in the original Broadway cast of School of Rock – piano, bass, guitar, violin, and ukulele – and she performs them simultaneously on stage using an innovative loop pedal approach. She has written more than forty songs and recorded at least a dozen with producers Will Hicks (Ed Sheeran, Jamie Lawson), Adrian Gurvitz (Jesse McCartney, Cheetah Girls), and Brian Malouf (Michael Jackson, Sabrina Carpenter). The songs will be released in the coming months, with a full-length album planned for 2020.
Ava’s most recent single, “Christmas Tonight,” is a beautiful and uplifting new song about the magic of the holiday season, focused not on Santa and presents, but on the more unspoken aspects of the season – a fresh snow, shimmering lights, and family and friends coming together to share in the special day. “Christmas Tonight” has been streamed nearly 75k times since being released this month and has featured on lists of the season’s “Best Holiday Songs.”
Ava has been touring in support of her new material, and recently performed at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, New York, and in front of a sold out crowd at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall. Prior to launching her singing career, Ava performed on the national tours of Les Misérables and White Christmas before joining the original cast of School of Rock, and has been featured on shows like Good Morning America, Sesame Street, the Tony Awards, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and more. She recently performed at the Sundance Film Festival, the Great South Bay Music Festival, and at Madison Square Garden in front of 20,000 Knicks fans.
Ava is certainly an artist to watch as we head into 2020. To learn more about her, visit http://www.avadellapietra.com/
