Ani DiFranco Tickets Continued
Ani DiFranco was born in Buffalo, New York to a Jewish
American mother and an Italian-American father. She was the daughter
of two folk music loving parents, started playing Beatles' covers at
local bars and busking with her guitar teacher at the age of nine. In
1989, Ani DiFranco started her own record company, Righteous
Babe Records, with just $50 and recorded Ani DiFranco, issued
in the winter of 1990. Later on she relocated to New York City and
toured vigorously.
Much of Ani DiFranco's material is autobiographical, in the
personal lyric tradition of the singer-songwriter. Many of her songs
are also strongly political, concerned with contemporary social issues
such as racism, sexism, sexual abuse, homophobia, reproductive rights,
poverty and war. The combination of these two characteristics in
Ani DiFranco's music is partially responsible for the early
popularity she enjoyed among politically active college students, some
of whom set up fan pages on the web to document her career as early as
1994.
Ani DiFranco's music has been classified as folk rock and
alternative rock, but since her early albums she has reached across
genres, having collaborated with a wide range of artists including pop
musician Prince and folk musician Utah Phillips. In various songs and
albums, she has used a variety of instruments and styles ranging from
brass, notably in 1998's Little Plastic Castle, and strings,
particularly noticeable on the live album Living in Clip and
the recent Knuckle Down. She has also experimented with
electronics and synths as seen on her latest studio recording,
Reprieve.
Ani DiFranco's latest and 18th album, entitled
Reprieve, was released in 2006. She will be touring throughout
the year to promote her new material.
