When Rivers Meet are pleased to announce their Spring 2023 UK Tour with their very special guest Arielle.
Planet Rock will start a 48-hour ticket pre-sale at 9am on Wednesday December 7th, 2022, here.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday December 9th here.
The tour announcement coincides with When Rivers Meet’s first-ever Christmas single “Christmas is Here” b/w “It’s the Time of the Year”, which is released today.
Written by Grace and Aaron Bond, and produced by Adam Bowers, the double A-side single is available here. Watch the music video below.
“Christmas is Here” is an upbeat blues rock Christmas song, featuring Grace Bond’s distinctive, powerhouse vocals and raunched-up mandolin solo overlaying Aaron Bond’s gritty guitar riff and harmonising vocals.
Beautifully simple and heart-warming, “It’s the Time of Year” harks back to gathering around the piano, giving the perfect platform for Grace to display her ability to switch from rock to ballad flawlessly with Aaron’s vocal harmony perfectly melding in choruses.
