For tickets and more info, visit ourconcerts.live/pinkmartini From Pink Martini's August 11, 2021 concert at the legendary Wolf Trap Performing Arts Center near Washington DC, this live performance features one of the band's most popular, indelible hits, "Hang On Little Tomato", a perfect hopeful anthem for our times. Written by bandleader Thomas M. Lauderdale, lead singer China Forbes, and their friend Patrick Abbey, the song was the title track of the band's second studio album, 2004's "Hang On Little Tomato", and has been an audience favorite ever since its debut. The song's concept and message were taken from a 1964 "Life" Magazine ad for Hunt's Catsup. This performance features Pink Martini trombonist Robert Taylor playing the introductory solo, which was originally played on the album by clarinetist, former Oregon Symphony Pops conductor, famed jazz arranger, and dear friend Norman Leyden. LYRICS The sun has left and forgotten me It’s dark, I cannot see Why does this rain pour down? I’m gonna drown, in a sea... of deep confusion Somebody told me, I don’t know who Whenever you are sad and blue And you’re feelin’ all alone and left behind Just take a look inside and you will find You gotta hold on, hold on through the night Hang on, things will be alright, Even when it’s dark, and not a bit of sparkling Sing-song sunshine from above, spreading rays of sunny love – just Hang on, hang on to the vine Stay on, soon you’ll be divine If you start to cry, look up to the sky Something’s coming up ahead To turn your tears to dew instead And so I hold on to this advice When change is hard and not so nice If you listen to your heart the whole night through Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you LINEUP: Thomas M. Lauderdale, piano and bandleader China Forbes, lead vocals Phil Baker, upright bass Dan Faehnle, guitar Nicholas Crosa, violin Thomas Barber, trumpet Robert Taylor, trombone Andrew Borger, drums Brian Davis, percussion Miguel Bernal, percussion Timothy Nishimoto, percussion FIND PINK MARTINI ONLINE: Patreon Fan Club: patreon.com/pinkmartini Instagram: instagram.com/pinkmartini Facebook: facebook.com/pinkmartini Twitter: twitter.com/PinkMartiniBand Spotify: bit.ly/spotifyPM Apple Music: bit.ly/pinkMartini SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/heinzrecords bandcamp: pinkmartini.bandcamp.com Website: pinkmartini.com Shop Pink Martini: store.pinkmartini.com #PinkMartini #ChinaForbes #HangOnLittleTomato #ThomasLauderdale #piano #vocals #singer #uprightbass #bass #guitar #violin #trumpet #trombone #trombonesolo #drums #percussion #vocals #vocalist #backupvocals #mic #jazz #bigband #classical #jazzmusic #classicalmusic #PinkMartiniLIVE #HeinzRecords #theLittleOrchestra #livemusic #LivePerformance #ThomasBarber #PhilBaker #DanFaehnle #NicholasCrosa #GavinBondy #RobertTaylor #AndrewBorger #MiguelBernal #BrianDavis #ReinhardtMelz #TimothyNishimoto #AntonisAndreou #PansyChang #MartinZarzar #AnthonyJones #KyleMustain #DerekRieth #DerekRiethFoundation #ChinaForbes #StormLarge #JimmieHerrod #EdnaVazquez #PortlandOregon #Portland #PortlandOR #Portlandmusic #Portlandband #ПинкМартини #핑크마티니 #duet #mashup #WolfTrap #liveconcert #Portland #PortlandOregon #2005 #1964 #LifeMagazine #LifeMagazine1964 #HuntsKetchup #HuntsCatsup #CatsupSong #KetchupSong #songsofhope #hope #hopefulmusic #HangonLittleTomatoAlbum #MinaSettembre #NormanLeyden #HangOnToTheVine
