Ani DiFranco at the 92nd Street Y

By: Ani DiFranco

Narrated by: Anthony DeCurtis

As the founder of Righteous Babe Records, the award-winning recording artist Ani DiFranco has never let her career succumb to "business as usual". Her music - rhythmically percussive guitar playing, insistent vocals, and a willingness to address both sexual and social politics - defies neat categories. It draws on folk and rock, as well as jazz, funk, hip-hop, experimental and electronic sounds, and much more. She has inspired countless musicians to rewrite the rules of the recording industry by striving for self-sufficiency and refusing to allow art to be subsumed by commerce.

DiFranco converses with Anthony DeCurtis, contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine.

Ani was great, as always!

I enjoyed this except that I could not hear the questions being asked by the audience members.

Thank you!!

What a wonderful down to Earth conversation. Loved hearing Ani’s perspective on her journey and process.

The way she speaks is the way she writes is the way she sings.

Endlessly poetic and honest and still grounded. Watching her grow through her music while I grew through her music is magical
