No time for a full-fledged RIGHTEOUS READER at the moment, cuz we're all too busy getting FELLOW
WORKERS, the new Ani DiFranco/Utah Phillips album, ready for its May 18 release. But we wanted to
pass along the following two tidbits of late-breaking info:
1. CATCH ANI LIVE ON NPR'S "TALK OF THE NATION," Monday, April 19, 1999.
Yep, Ani will be the subject of an hourlong interview on National Public Radio's live call-in "Talk of the
Nation" program this Monday. For airtimes and stations in your area, consult the TOTN section of NPR's
website: www.npr.org
(Please DON'T consult us, 'cuz we don't know anything more than what you read above. That's also the site
to consult for ordering transcripts, in case you miss the thing.)
2. LATE-BREAKING SPRING **AND SUMMER** TOUR INFO
ALL of the following dates and venues are SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Additional dates on the summer tour
will be coming soon--they're pouring in a fairly quick clip these days, and we
hope to send out a more complete update in the next few weeks. (Please note that we do not handle tickets
ourselves here at the record label; all inquiries about individual shows should be directed to the venues in
question, NOT to us.)
