Filmed in a retired Lutheran chapel somewhere in the swamps of Jersey, the special features songs from the duo's new album 'Esther,' plus one classic. Surrounded by friends and family, Monique & Vito are joined on stage by a host of talented musicians - plus a few special guests! It's a cozy watch - perfect for this time of year! Vito and Monique will be chatting live with viewers in the Youtube chat during the premiere.
Esther is The Welcome Wagon’s fourth album and is part of an ongoing audiovisual collaboration between Monique and Vito. Monique has made a painting to correspond to each of Vito’s songs on the album, three of which are featured in the album’s artwork, with a limited edition print of the piece “Isaiah, California” available as part of a special LP bundle. The 10-track album will be released on November 4th (Asthmatic Kitty Records).
ABOUT THE WELCOME WAGON:The Welcome Wagon is a married couple, the Reverend Thomas Vito Aiuto and his wife Monique, who execute a genre of gospel music that is refreshingly plain. Their hymns are modest and melodic takes on a vast history of sacred song traditions, delivered with the simple desire to know their Maker—and to know each other—more intimately.
