About

Description
Only 5' 2" in height, Ani DiFranco has worked hard to prove that she's big in stature.

Born in Buffalo, New York, Ani was singing and playing guitar long before most of us break out of the doldrums of Kidz Bop and Bubblegum Pop to finally realize what good music actually is. As she grew older, she began touring, developing both her signature style of performance and her extremely loyal fan base. Rather than waiting for some A&R bigwig with an even bigger agenda to sign her, Ani simply created her own label, Righteous Babe Records, which has released 18 of her own studio albums as well as 8 of her wildly popular Official Bootleg Series, allowing people to experience Ani live from the comfort of their own homes.

But its not all about Ani over at Righteous Babe, as she hand-picked 12 exceptional artists to join the label and come along on the righteous ride. In addition to that, Ani has established the Righteous Babe Foundation, which has allowed her to be able to support grassroots cultural and political organizations throughout the country. Perhaps her most ambituous endeavor was taking on the task of restoring the historic Asbury Methodist Church in Buffalo which was in danger of being torn down. The church, built in 1876, has been fully restored and converted into a home for a stunning performance space, art gallery, and jazz club.

After over a decade of hard work, Ani DiFranco's career has blossomed into one that is successful in the rarest forms. Ani has proved that if you shed enough blood, sweat, and tears, you really can do what you want in your own way.

I absolutely love the brass and strings ... I just hope we'll hear more of them in the future.

I'm SOO lovin' the brass the strings ... I hope that she'll use more of said same in the future.
I'm particularly fond of RLY and ST, I just wish she'd recorded them in conjunction with one another, much like she's done in her live versions thereof.

I love the spirit of your new album. Sounds like the same spirit as Little Plastic Castle but that could just be the horns talking. Either way, thanks for another great album.
