If
you’ve been to an Ani show recently you may be wondering who’s playing
the vibes, tabla, and a variety of other crazy percussion
instruments…he’s Mike Dillon, and he will accompany the little
folksinger and upright bassist Todd Sickafoose for the rest of Ani's tour dates
in 2006. Mike has also performed with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and
Les Claypool, among others. To get a feel for the trio’s sound, you can
stream “78% H20,” recorded live in Nashville, Tennessee, here (with Windows Media Player) or check out the live songs available on iTunes as bonus tracks for Reprieve.
Catch Ani on the road while you can, because after November the
Righteous Babe will be taking a little break from the road to have her
own Righteous Baby.
