[DID NOT ATTEND: April 15, 2025] Ani DiFranco / Wryn
Back in the day I loved Ani DiFranco. I loved her independent spirit and that she released her own albums on her own label. I loved her acoustic albums, I loved her more rocking albums. I saw her a few times and she was incredible live. And then at some point she changed her sound. She added horns and started to sound a bit more like Prince. These aren’t necessarily bad things but I didn’t like the new stuff at all and so I completely lost touch with her.
I didn’t even realize she was still putting out records. Her most recent was Unprecedented Sh!t and here she was touring it. I had no plans to go but I am pleased she sold out Union Transfer.
Wryn plays acoustic guitar music that rocks once in a while. They have a good voice and a good sense of melody. The album is out on Righteous Babe, and there’s an early Ani feel. I might have to dive in a bit more.
