Righteous Babe Radio

Opener Andrew Bird joins the stage near the end of the show to bring us wonderful renditions of Studying Stones, Manhole, and a Paradigm that is absolutely brilliant! Ani and Todd close out the set with Shameless before Andrew joins the party once more for a 32 Flavors encore.

We love hearing the connection between Ani and Todd from 20 years ago, as that is so beautifully highlighted early on in this set with Swim, followed by a Sunday Morning where Todd takes it for a little walk at the end!

Napoleon, Ain't that the Way and Shameless close out this set, and Ani caps it off the whole thing off with Welcome To: (still being called Play Along at the time)

Wish I May makes an early appearance in the set before a fierce version of Two Little Girls, Marrow, and the rarely played fan favorite Slide. The second half of the show slows down for a minute to make space for Grey, 2nd Intermission, and Self Evident.

Little Plastic Castle and Overlap encores are the perfect nightcap for this chilly Arizona evening.

Recorded in Tucson, AZ on January 20, 2025. Highlights from this show are a killer version of Virus, As Is (which never disappoints), and a mid set Pixie. Also the first ever Sit It Out is an incredible treat that just had to be shared.

Highlights of the night are of course the Gratitude and Rock Paper Scissors, but also Heartbreak Even and the set closing Shy with that long intro provided by Julie.

This show is super fun and funky and will be recognized by die hard fans as Girls Singing Night! a stripped down Back Back Back kicks off girls singing night with just Ani and Julie absolutely going to town! A super funky Phase precedes a beautiful You Had Time.

A solo version of Names + Dates + Times is a wonderful treat before the band rejoins the fun for an immaculate version of Done Wrong. In the Way, and Jukebox close out the set before the Joyful Girl encore.

A new (at the time) Here for Now leads us to an already crusty Hour Follows Hour. A super grungy and gritty Napoleon precedes a Fuel that starts out a little rough but ends oh so beautifully.
