SUMMARY:Ani DiFranco
DESCRIPTION:As a singer, songwriter, activist and independent entrepre
 neur, Ani DiFranco has been setting her own pace—and encouraging cou
 ntless admirers to do the same—for more than 20 years. But while she
  has been known as the \"Little Folksinger,\" her music has grown far 
 beyond her acoustic solo roots in cozy venues to embrace jazz, soul, e
 lectronica and even more distant sounds. All of which are featured in 
 DiFranco's new Righteous Babe release, Allergic To Water, where she al
 so blends abstract imagery and deceptively understated melodies with p
 ersonal reflections on her life in New Orleans where she is now raisin
 g her two children with her partner, producer Mike Napolitano. \"It's
  such a humbling, and grueling, thing to raise children,\" DiFranco sa
 id. \"And that makes playing music more precious and makes me more gra
 teful. It's a real balancing act, but it also has a balancing effect.\
 "DiFranco adds that becoming a mother has brought her closer to listen
 ers who have followed her music since she began performing in New York
  City during the early 1990s. But widespread attention never prevented
  her from holding on to her integrity, and independence. A strong beli
 ef in human rights has run throughout her work, including when she pla
 yed at numerous benefit concerts around the world. At a time when reco
 rd labels still held an oversized influence, DiFranco stood ahead of t
 he curve in launching her own Righteous Babe Records. The company has 
 released more than 20 of her albums to date, ranging from the popular 
 two-disc live album, Living In Clip (1997), to the expansive To The Te
 eth (1999), which included such guests as legendary R&B saxophonist Ma
 ceo Parker and Prince. Journalist Sylvie Simmons wrote in the British 
 music magazine MOJO in 1998, \"Even if her overt politicism and her 20
 0-shows-per-year tours with an acoustic guitar place her in the Woody 
 Guthrie tradition, her music—which has boldly plundered funk or punk
 , hip hop, rock—doesn't.\"\n\nFor more information visit http://true
