ANI DIFRANCO IN CONCERT:
Alt-rock powerhouse and feminist icon Ani DiFranco continues to be a symbol of activism through music, pulling no punches with her socially conscious songwriting more than 20 years after her debut. At her inspiring live shows DiFranco gives it her all, delivering her unfiltered lyrics with a raw emotionalism that perfectly complements her polished guitar playing. From classics like "Shameless" to newer material like "Whose Side Are You On?", DiFranco covers a wide selection of favorites on her latest tour, never failing to have a blast in the process.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Buffalo, NY, DiFranco was a precocious young talent, performing Beatles covers in local bars as early as age nine. Just a few years later she was playing original material in coffee shops, and by age 15 she had moved out of her mother's house to live in her own apartment as an emancipated minor. At age 18 she started her own record company Righteous Records, releasing her self-titled debut album on the label the following year. Over the next two decades DiFranco released a new album nearly every year, touring extensively and earning several Grammy nominations including a Best Contemporary Folk Album nod for 2000's Fellow Workers. Back on the road for her latest tour, the ever-prolific talent will treat fans to never-before-heard material from her upcoming album.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Ani Difranco's performance was truly unforgettable. She changed guitars for every song and even changed some of the acoustics for a few songs. Her voice was even better live!"
"She plays so hard and with such precision. It's like watching the Cirque du Soleil, you see it with your own eyes and you still wonder if it's possible. She's so ceaselessly generous and friendly."
"Her vocals and energy are off the charts. She's funny, engaging and smart. We had a great time. A good mix of the old classics and a couple of brand new ones."
Great mix of songs. Seemless 90 min set with her spectacular guitar skills and fun vibe. One of the best!
She’s my favorite artist to see live! Always the best time!
Thoroughly enjoyed the concert, great song choices, great mixing, great crowd, excellent time. Experiencing Ani Difranco is always a great experience.
This was my second time to see Ani DiFranco, and she was on fire! The only thing I might have wanted different would be to have Kristen Ford sing a couple more songs as the opening act. The venue was superb. This was my first time at the Blue Note, but it won’t be my last. Anytime Ani returns there I will be there, as well as for any other bands that I want to see in what is one of the best venues I’ve been to.
25th Anniversary of Little Plastic Castle and Ani still breaks guitar strings and fills all with Joy!
First time seeing Ani in about 20 years, had a great time seeing some of the newer songs played live (as a 3 piece) along with a handful of classics. The openers (Peter Mulvey & SistaStrings) did a wonderful job with their own sets, collaborating with each other, and contributing to an epic performance late in Ani's set. The venue (Embassy Theatre/Ft. Wayne) was very nice. clean, nice acoustics, friendly staff, and reasonable drink prices. Can't ask for much more. All in all it would have been a perfect experience if not for Ticketmaster's usual price gouging.
Great concert in an intimate venue. The only suggestion is to skip the VIP as it is not worth the money given that seating is not guaranteed and that section is located at the very back of the venue; general admission will get you really closer to the artist.
She was Greta as always. 930 is my favorite venue and is as great today as it was the first time I went on 1997.
Got right up front and sobbed when she played Both Hands and 32 Flavors. Great show.
We are grateful for Ani visiting our town. She is powerful and caring and important. The lighting wasn't on the drummer which was odd.
