Ani DiFranco

Ani DiFranco, Savoy Düsseldorf, June 18, 2025 It was a great concert and fine place for a venue like this. As Support: Gracie and Rachel. A two women Band, very good multiinstrumentalists and perfect singers from New York and the rigtheousbabe label. Their singing with different voices and octaves were excellent. Keyboards, a violin, a drummachine, sequencer and loops make their atmospheric music wonderful for every stressed people. Ani DiFranco was in a fine muood. She introduced her and her three man band with the sadly but true aspect: "We are refugees from the fascist states of america." A drummer, a standupbass- and keyboard- player and a guitar/steelguitarplayer arranged the songs as the had to be today and has to be in the past. Ani played a mixed setlist up from 1991 with her classic Hits like as is, Not a pretty Girl, gravel and new melodic material from the 2010th-2020th decades. She was thinking about singing a song from before 1991, like a child song about mosquitos: There where "so much laughter and so much fun". Sadly, after short one and a half hour Ani and her band ended up the concert. But it was full of good songs, nice and funny moments at all ! A very very good evening. B.M.
