After Linda asked if Etheridge is excited about being on tour she answered, “I love singing. Singing is.. being on stage is such medicine for me. It’s full medicine. It’s just like, you know, what the doctor ordered, you know?”

At the time, the pair were still reeling from the devastation left in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires. “You can’t have enough empathy to put your arms around, you know, all of Los Angeles,” Etheridge said. “But, um, yeah, it’s kind of draining. It’s very draining. So I really look forward to music. It’s just such great energy. It’s so healing. It just feels you up. It fills you up.”

In an interview with Pride Source in January, Etheridge said she and Indigo Girls played a handful of dates together in 2024 and are looking forward to reuniting in 2025. “It was part of my tour and their tour, and we worked it out, and we had such a blast together,” she explained. “We caught up. We loved the audience. The audience that came to see us was on fire. They were enthusiastic. It was very cathartic, like, god, everything we’ve been going through, let’s just remember the songs we love.”
