INDIANAPOLIS CONCERT
Just announced! Idina has added a concert in Indiana with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on March 2! Idina in Indianapolis, Indiana – that’s a mouthful (and kinda hard to type correctly the first try!). haha
Tickets go on sale to the public January 10 at 9:00 am ET via their website.
Also announced today: Marvin Hamlisch will be conducting the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra at Idina’s show in Red Bank on February 3! Limited tickets remain and can be purchased here.
p.s. Her concerts in St. Louis and New York City are nearly sold out, so if you’re planning to go, snap up your tickets ASAP!
NEW MUSIC ON THE HORIZON
Idina’s brother-in-law, DJ Gabriel Diggs, has announced via his Twitter that he has been working on a BRAND NEW song with Idina, and that he will be releasing it soon! We don’t have a date yet, but keep an eye on his Twitter (and ours) for more info.
Gabriel previously remixed Idina’s “Gorgeous,” which can be downloaded at his website by clicking below.
LYRIC CONTEST
This past week we held a Contest Idea Contest on Twitter to come up with some new ideas for contests to kick off the New Year! I picked Sarah’s suggestion to have a lyric contest. For her winning idea, she will receive an autographed photo of Idina. And now it’s your turn to have a chance to win one as well!
THE CONTEST
– Name That Tune!
THE HOW-TO
– Correctly identify the song title to which the following lyrics belong.
– Email the list of titles to contest[at]idina-here.com with NAME THAT TUNE in the subject line.

– Pretty much all of the lyrics can be found on this site!
01. Would you take the chance and make the change
02. I swear this isn’t who I’m meant to be
03. So be kind and don’t lose your mind
04. One question haunts and hurts
05. It’s you who brings me peace
06. If time stood on its head
07. Let’s have a drink, I won’t bite

09. All the world loves a clown
10. I’d like to have babies with you
11. Ouch, right?
12. But the tigers come at night
13. Leaping Rumplestiltskin’s wall
14. I’ve been pillowed and paid
15. She’s the rain on your tongue
16. I tried to be that cynical but blew it
17. You won’t be running back to this life I’m living
18. Too much has been said
19. I’ve got tasty treats to tempt you
20. I know it’s you who’ll shelter me
