What is Ani Difranco?
1.
An independent artist, songwriter, and guitarist. Her musical styles have run the gammut from acoustic folk punk to jazzy to funk. Founder of Righteous Babe Records. To date, Ani has released over 16 records.
Bruce Cockburn recently observed in Performing Songwriter that Ani considers it part of her job description "to try and reflect real life in
her songs. The life of the streets; the life of nations; the lives of people coping with power or its absence, looking for joy through the loneliness and pain and the complexities of relationship; the life of the spirit. All these are the stuff of human experience, and human experience is what we all share."

The only person in the world whose music it is impossible to dislike. Music ranges from folk to almost-punk to spoken poetry to jazz to funk to whatever the hell else you want. Lyrics generally have to do with politics, the fact that guys suck, and lesbian-ness. See

An overrated folk/multi-genre performer/vocalist for which the appreciation of whom has become a prerequisite for any
You will never hear an overtly-aggressive
lesbian say anything bad about Ani DiFranco. In fact, she is worshipped like a goddess by them which makes no sense since she's not REALLYgay . But oh well, liking women who look like men/boys doesn't really scream with sense either.
