Get to Know Ani DiFranco
For nearly 35 years, Ani DiFranco has been a trailblazer in the music realm, known for her fierce dedication to independence in the industry. The founder of Righteous Babe Records, she started this record label back in 1990, making her a pioneer of the DIY music movement. With 22 albums under her belt, she has effortlessly blended genres like folk, punk, hip-hop, soul, and electronic, each time pushing the boundaries of what music can convey.
DiFranco’s music often reflects her life experiences and addresses pertinent political and social issues, making her songs resonate deeply with fans. She first captured audiences with her raw and gritty sound in her early albums like “Ani DiFranco,” “Not So Soft,” “Imperfectly,” and “Puddle Dive.” Moving through the years, her work evolved into more polished, yet equally meaningful pieces in albums such as “Out Of Range,” “Not a Pretty Girl,” and “Dilate.”
Over her illustrious career, DiFranco has nabbed a Grammy Award for her incredible album “Evolve” in 2003 and received numerous Grammy nominations for her other works. Fans fondly remember her recent releases, including “Red Letter Year” in 2008, “Binary” in 2017, and her latest offering, “Revolutionary Love” from 2021. Just last year, she re-released in special anniversary editions her beloved albums “Living in Clip” and “Little Plastic Castle,” which surely thrilled her longtime followers.
A Multi-Talented Artist
Ani DiFranco is no stranger to the world of literature and theatre, wearing many hats as a poet, author, and even a Broadway performer. Her poetry and painting collection “Verses,” released in 2007, showcased her artistic prowess, while her memoir “No Walls and the Recurring Dream,” which became a New York Times Top 10 bestseller in 2019, peered into her life experiences. For the younger audience, she has published children’s books such as “The Knowing” and “Show Up and Vote,” emphasizing the importance of civic engagement.
Recently, she wrapped up a five-month stint on Broadway, where she took on the role of Persephone in the acclaimed musical “Hadestown.” The stage seems to be a fitting place for her talents, but her heart still beats for the concert scene, especially as she embarks on a tour promoting her latest album, “Unprecedented Sh!t.”
What’s Next for DiFranco?
After completing the first leg of her tour in Seattle on February 1, 2025, DiFranco is ready to hit the ground running again in St. Petersburg, following her time on the Cayamo Cruise. Beyond this, she has collaborated with Stone Gossard, a guitarist from Pearl Jam, to drop a new single titled “The Message.” This track combines the talents of several musicians, creating an exciting addition to her discography.
Fans can look forward to her full tour schedule that takes her across the U.S. and over to Europe throughout 2025. She’ll kick off her European leg at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on June 11, 2025, alongside the special guest, Anaïs Mitchell. Plus, mark your calendars for a concert at the stunning Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, slated for July 13, 2025, where she’ll share the stage with The Avett Brothers.
