Ani DiFranco Wows Them at Babeville

Ani DiFranco played an excellent, energetic show to a sellout, appreciative and loud crowd at Babeville, formerly Asbury at the Church, on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo earlier tonight.
Playing the first concert at the former church that now houses her Righteous Babe Records and Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Ani and her band were in fine form, playing 19 songs (including the encore) from throughout her career, including some new tunes. Hammell On Trial opened the show and was also fantastic; hilarious, profane, frenetic and rocking.
Val took some great photos, and we will have a full story and slate of photos posted to our web site, Buffalo Roots, later this week, but Val had to stand the entire night, and her legs are absolutely exhausted, so she has already gone to sleep.
