Dates for DiFranco and the band run February 20 through March 16, with stops in the Midwest and West included.

Spring hatches a fresh batch of dates featuring Ani in a rare solo setting. Two dates are confirmed for DiFranco’s first one-woman tour since 1994, but that number should increase as more concerts are confirmed.

DiFranco spent a significant amount of time on the road last year supporting her double disc, Reveling/Reckoning. She took with her a handful of artists from her own record label, Righteous Babe, including the sexually charged, socio-political duo Animal & Bitch. Poet-singer Sekou Sundiata was also on hand for the summer months.

Just before hitting the road, DiFranco will lend her talents to An Evening Of Music For Reproductive Freedom. Bruce Hornsby, Joe Henry and John Popper. are the other artists performing at the January 19 show in Washington, D.C., which raises funds and awareness for the Voters For Choice campaign.
