Ani DiFranco and Pearl Jam‘s Stone Gossard have reunited three years after the release of “Disorders” for a new track, “The Message.” The new song features the same band lineup from their previous collaborative single: DiFranco on vocals, Gossard on guitar, keyboardist Josh Evans, saxophonist Skerik, and percussionist Stanton Moore. “So fun and amazing to collaborate again with Ani, Josh, Skerik, Mike, and Stanton. Ani’s vocals are transcendent,” Gossard said in a statement. DiFranco added, “The mood started with Stone’s demo and evolved from there. Super fun to team up with some badasses and pull a song out of the air.” DiFranco is currently touring in support of her recent album, Unprecedented Sh!t, with her documentary, 1-800-ON-HER-OWN, set to screen in select theaters this spring. Pearl Jam is preparing for a North American tour beginning in April, followed by headlining the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in May. (Rolling Stone)
