The Multi-Platinum Jazz Rockers Present \u201cAn Evening with Squirrel Nut Zippers Christmas Caravan Tour\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming an annual tradition, the 90’s Alt Swing Revivalist return to Chicago and bring their Christmas Holiday show, this time to the Park West. Tickets available here: SNZ Christmas Caravan Tour at Park West<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swingin\u2019 seasonal sounds of the Squirrel Nut Zippers<\/strong> (SNZ) will be roaring into cities across the country as they present fans will the gift of their sensational and swaggering holiday shows. The iconic multi-platinum jazz rockers will be unwrapping their \u201cAn Evening with the Squirrel Nut Zippers Christmas Caravan Tour,\u201d featuring songs from their Christmas Caravan<\/em> and Mardi Gras<\/em> for Christmas<\/em> albums, as well as other Zippers favorites, during a 15- date routing that will stop at Park West on December 21. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From heartwarming ballads to boisterous dance tunes, the band will conjure an atmosphere nestled somewhere between the wondrous lights of Christmas and the backroom din of a speakeasy during these wildly festive performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by 1920s jazz, klezmer and vaudeville, SNZ\u2019s endlessly curious and innovative leader Jimbo Mathus has concocted a sound truly unique and original. No other artist of his generation has embraced and synthesized eclectic influences in such a seamless, authentic manner. This unique blend is on full display with the Holiday Caravan show, which has increasingly grown in popularity, selling out venues throughout the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Platinum recording artists have sold over three million albums to-date with their watershed album, Hot<\/em> (1996), making them a household name. Recorded in the heat of New Orleans, fueled by a smoldering mix of booze and a youthful hunger to unlock the secrets of old-world jazz, this pivotal release was just the beginning for the band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, SNZ has unveiled such hits as Beasts Of Burgundy<\/em> (2018), which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart, and Christmas Caravan <\/em>(1998), which went on to sell a quarter of a million copies and reach #12 on the Billboard Holiday Albums chart.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their most recent record Lost Songs of Doc Souchon<\/em> debuted in late 2020. It featured 10 tracks \u2013 a combination of newly-penned Zippers songs, along with a few tunes from past times \u2013 and has received acclaim from fans and critics alike. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
