Ani Mari Goes East Tour w/ North Ingalls

Alt-Americana singer-songwriter Ani Mari’s debut solo album, girlfriend (produced by Erik Koskinen and Real-Phonic Records, 2023), explores the ambiguities of coming of age in a beautifully precarious world. Across ten warmly combative tracks, she fights for grace and connection amidst the anxieties, desires, heartbreaks, and joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland. Tracks like “Whitefish Bay” and “The Prettiest Things” echo the forests and waters of the Upper Peninsula and the bluegrass and folk influences Ani grew up immersed in, while title track “Girlfriend” triangulates her current temperature somewhere between Liz Phair, Waxahachee, and Ratboys. Comparisons, however, always fall short. Compelling, humming, and hungry, Ani’s indie-folk songwriting is 100% her own, and definitely not to be missed.


The North Ingalls Band is a seven-piece indie folk-groove sound. All members of TNIB hail from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and met through the School of Music. The original music of TNIB is a vibrant patchwork of seven unique individual sounds, each coming together to celebrate and reflect their personal experiences. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics, brought to life by their emotionally raw vocals and rich, full-bodied sound.
