It wasn't just a concert. It was an event. If you couldn't trek to Buffalo to see Ani's inaugural performance at Righteous Babe's own venue, Babeville, you can see it all on Ani's third concert DVD, Live at Babeville. Click the image for more information.

Only 5' 2" in height, Ani DiFranco has worked hard to prove that she's big in stature.
Born in Buffalo, New York, Ani was singing and playing guitar long before most of us break out of the doldrums of Kidz Bop and Bubblegum Pop to finally realize what good music actually is. As she grew older, she began touring, developing both her signature style of performance and her extremely loyal fan base. Rather than waiting for some A&R bigwig with an even bigger agenda to sign her, Ani simply created her own label, Righteous Babe Records, which has released 20 of her own studio albums as well as 10 of her wildly popular Official Bootleg Series, allowing people to experience Ani live from the comfort of their own homes.
But its not all about Ani over at Righteous Babe, as she hand-picked 12 exceptional artists to join the label and come along on the righteous ride. In addition to that, Ani has established the Righteous Babe Foundation, which has allowed her to be able to support grassroots cultural and political organizations throughout the country. Perhaps her most ambitious endeavor was taking on the task of restoring the historic Asbury Methodist Church in Buffalo which was in danger of being torn down. The church, built in 1876, has been fully restored and converted into a home for a stunning performance space, art gallery, and jazz club.
After over almost twenty years of hard work, Ani DiFranco's career has blossomed into one that is successful in the rarest forms. Ani has proved that if you shed enough blood, sweat, and tears, you really can do what you want in your own way.
This page, along with the Official Righteous Babe Records page, are the only Myspace accounts affiliated with Ani DiFranco and Righteous Babe Records. Keep in mind that Ani DiFranco does not maintain this page herself, and because there were no 14 year-old girls available, Amanda the trusty intern had no choice but to do it herself.
went to see u in south side pittsburgh and was right in front row center!...loved it so much bought tix on sunday to go see u at the Artpark on monday it was worth the 4+ hr drive, one way. thanks much love!
I saw you in Jersey at a folk festival and I must say that I honestly never thought I would get to see you in concert because I am military and always gone! I will be here for the Nov 20th show!!! Can't wait to see you!!!! Rock on!
So does this mean you are coming home (Buf) for the holidays? Around here your show sells out way too fast...you need to give us a few nights down in the B-lo!
I just saw you play in Lowell, MA a couple of nights ago. It was amazing as usual. But to be in the front row, eye level was just the experience of my lifetime!!!! Although I really wanted to hear you play Allah This. I understand you have a set list to go by.
so finally all these years later my cd is done...u want one?...I've actually been fortunate enough to open for Hamell and I will try and get 1 to him to...just my way of saying thanks...you influence everything you touch and that includes my new cd...
You rock. :) I'm in Germany right now... do you know what they call a song that gets stuck in your head? An ear worm. Ew. :) But I must say, you're a master at infecting people with ear worms. If I can ever return the favor, please stop by. I'd love to infect you with some of my music as well.
