Hey Eugene! Out May 15th Pink Martini just announced a North American tour to commence this summer in support of their upcoming release, 'Hey Eugene!' (Heinz Records) out May 15th. Included in this tour is their first ever headlining performance at Carnegie Hall on June 13th and an inaugural appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.

In celebration of Hey Eugene! Pink Martini will perform two record release concerts in their hometown of Portland, OR at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on May 15th & 16th. Major album release events are scheduled for New York.

Following their March 21st performance at the Hammersmith Apollo, the London Times gave Pink Martini five out of six stars. They raved “Easily the most exciting display I have heard from the Oregon group and to see an auditorium full of twentysomethings listening intently to assured performances of sophisticated retro pop embellished with light classics makes you feel there may just be hope for us yet."

Hey Eugene! is a twelve track sonic journey anchored by skillful songwriting and ensemble playing brought to life by a playful and no-holds-barred dose of cabaret showmanship. Pink Martini is the genre bending, bestselling, supremely talented, and raucously fun group that the New Yorker called simply “beautiful, sophisticated, and breathtaking". The band has an impressive cult following and sold over 1.3 million records worldwide. They've won raves everywhere from Vanity Fair ("sumptuously groovy") to Rolling Stone ("mesmerizing").
