Q with Tom PowerAni DiFranco: Hadestown and her new chapter on BroadwayWhen Ani DiFranco was first setting out as an artist, she felt like she had two paths in front of her.

Ani tells Tom how it feels to revisit her old dreams, why landing the role was a full circle moment, and how you can keep fighting for change even when it feels completely hopeless.

Boekbinder collaborated on the first of these songs with Alex Batriz, and following that, was approached by many more writers about collaborations. This was the seed for the Prison Music Project and the culminating album, Long...

HallwaysAni DiFrancoAni DiFranco’s music, songwriting and performances are only part of the story of her success as an artist that rings true in the Folk Americana Roots extended family. It’s also the connection to those who have grown up with her and the ongoing conversation she has with her audience. This is the essence of the Folk artist, that engagement with the people, whether in person, or straight from the vinyl or the streaming platform. Ani began her musical journey at the age of 9 in Buffalo, NY. House concerts, open mics, and a caring folk family helped...

The result is what's considered one of her best albums ever — it ended up being her best-selling at the very least — one where she tries to work through what happens when public scrutiny and fan indignity begin to feel invasive and you wonder what it's all for. For DiFranco though, she reminds us: she's got better things to do than survive. Little Plas...

At one time, Ani DiFranco’s 1995 album Not A Pretty Girl served as her template, including the cover art that informed her ideal wardrobe! Shannon, Graeme, and Rob discuss the album that explores the complexity of adult relationships, control over one’s own work, and coming-of-age in an often cruel and morally questionable world.

Over 20 albums later, DiFranco continues to be an outspoken champion of political and social movements, from reproductive rights and LGBTQ visibility, to anti-racism efforts and global peace.
And despite recent tragedies and political divisiveness in America, DiFranco remains optimistic.
