Ani Difranco -
infinity hall live

Ani DiFranco is as deserving of the name "Righteous Babe" as the label she founded back in 1990. This DIY folk- rock icon has been wowing audiences worldwide with her razor-sharp lyrical content, masterful percussive guitar playing and spirited vocals for more than 25 years and she brings it all on stage for her Infinity Hall Live performance. Fan favorites like "Shameless", "Both Hands" and "32 Flavors" are matched with the politically charged "Which Side Are You On" and "Crime For Crime". A guest appearance by folk duo Mike + Ruthy add dimension to "Overlap" and "Binary" among others in the set. This concert from DiFranco is a celebration of her fierce spirit that draws devoted fans to travel the country to see her perform and is a testament to her "righteous" position in folk history alongside Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Interview with Ani DiFranco.
