She has been called “fiercely independent”, “inspirational” and “the ultimate do-it-yourself songwriter”.
Saturday evening, August 14, folk/rocker Ani DiFranco will bring all that and more when she stops by the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek for an 8 p.m. show. A celebration of her latest release, “Red Letter Year”, along with hits from her extensive song list, the show will also mark one of only three tour dates for DiFranco in Colorado this summer.
An ardent feminist and an open bisexual, her songs tackled issues like rape, abortion, and sexism with insight and compassion, the music's empowering attitude and anger tempered by the poignant candor of singer/songwriter confessionalism.
Now, after two decades of playing over a hundred shows a year, DiFranco is packing clubs from the Hard Rock in Vegas to Carnegie Hall in New York. Her Righteous Babe label employs more than a dozen people in her hometown of Buffalo, and supports the recordings of cutting edge artists, while her rhythmic, staccato guitar technique has innovated the way the instrument is played.
The self-described “Little Folksinger” is more than happy to just sit back and make art.
Tickets for Ani DiFranco are priced at $50 and are available HERE, by phone at 888.920.ARTS(2787) or in person at the Vilar Center box office in Beaver Creek.
