Ani DiFranco at The Church Sept. 11-12
Buffalo's own legendary (add your adjectives here) folk singer/guitarist Ani DiFranco will perform two shows here in her hometown Tuesday and Wednesday (today and tomorrow), September 11-12, at Asbury Hall at the Church, 341 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo.
Val and I haven't caught Ani in a couple of years, and we are fortunate to have received press passes, and Val is thrilled that she was issued a photo pass, so look for some really good work of Val's along with my writing about the show.
Ani 's timing of her first show is no coincidence; the show's 9/11 date not only coincides with the release of her new double-CD compilation, Canon, on Righteous Babe Records, but Ani has been very outspoken about the events surrounding and following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the aftereffects they had on people as individuals as well as countries and societies, including her comments in NYC on the first anniversary. Some of these comments have caused controversy, but no one really expects nor should expect Ani to not make her feelings known about this, having been a New York City resident for years.
Ani will be joined on stage by bandmates Todd Sickafoose on upright bass, Allison Miller on drums and Mile Dillon on percussion and vibes, and Hammell on Trial will open the show. Tickets may still be available at Ticketmaster locally at (716) 852-5000.
