TIFT MERRITT has sent the following message to her fans from the road as she begins a new month-long North American tour beginning in Houston tonight: "Hello all. The band and I have arrived in Houston, and the first show of our Grammy Nomination Tour is tonight. As you can imagine, we are thrilled, suprised and humbled by the news we got last month, and have spent the holidays celebrating with our families. The band had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and I spend my birthday in NYC hunting for a Grammy dress. I even got to catch up with Tambourine producer George Drakoulias. What a lucky girl. This tour takes us to some of our favorite places, like Austin, Seattle, and Denver. It also has some new and exciting stops, like the Sundance Film Festival and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Our good friends and fellow North Carolinians Tres Chicas will be supporting. This is a pretty special time for us, so please come out and see a show if you can. After all, we've already won. We get to play good music with good friends for people like you. Thanks so much for your support." - Tift.
