Visit Angie for more Wordful Wednesday fun!
That's Ani DiFranco for those that might not know. I love her. This was show number four for me.
We had great seats...the closest ones so far. I still aspire to be within the first few rows at some point.
And she has this amazing drummer who just happens to be a chick. Love it. There are not nearly enough chick drummers. Her name is Allison Miller and I enjoy watching her almost as much as I do watching Ani.
Though the night mostly consisted of new songs, she did throw in some old goodies too including Napoleon, Little Plastic Castles, and Hypnotized. I was especially happy that she played her Obama song (above). There's just something different about an Ani concert. You can go to another concert to listen to great music, but Ani's concerts have such a different vibe. If you like her music you need to see her live. She really interacts with the audience and she tells her stories. She's just amazing.
Oh oh and her opener! I can't forget to include him. His name was Chad Stokes. AMAZING!! Click his name there to view photos I found on Flickr from last night's show. It was just him with his guitar. Love me some acoustic goodness. He is part of the group State Radio though if you'd like to check him/them out. Here's a bit from the song he opened with "Calling All Crows"
~sigh~ I cannot wait until next time.

Sounds like you had fun and that it was refreshing for you... we all need that every so often! This week is that for me- home with my parents at the beach in FL! Hooray!! I hope you get more moments of refreshment this week too! :)
You've seen her 4 times already? That's amazing. I have never once been able to see at a concert. I'm always in the nosebleeds behind a monstrously tall person.
Sounds like you had a great time! good luck on getting closer next time! Maybe you will get to meet her.............
Im so glad i finally got to see her - i had a great time!

It's wonderful to see that you are so passionate about her musica and her as an artist. I wish I could go to more concerts. It's always so wonderful to be there live!
