Ani DiFranco Tickets

Did You Know...

Her music has been dubbed 'punk-folk', and her swooping vocal style carries echoes of female icons from Joni Mitchell to Tori Amos; she is also an original and unusually accomplished acoustic guitarist. She learned to play at age nine and was an established presence on the NY coffee house/college gig circuit by her early teens, founding her own Righteous Babe Records in 1990 based in Buffalo, releasing an eponymous debut album which she sold primarily at gigs. This was followed by Not So Soft in 1991, Imperfectly in 1992, Puddle Dive and Like I Said (Songs 1990-91) in 1993, Out Of Range in 1994 and Not A Pretty Girl in 1995.
