Ani DiFranco Tickets

First time at the Somerville Theatre - AV fail. The cellist had issues with his sound setup right off the bat, which seemed slow to be fixed. The light display also left him randomly in the dark when the other players were spotlit, even while Ani was directly gesturing at him and congratulating him on an award he received. Yikes. I always enjoy seeing Ani but she saved almost all of her older material for the last handful of songs, which was disappointing. Wish she had sprinkled them in throughout, for the old school fans. She still rocks of course! Hope she ditches Somerville in the future and comes back to the Cabot in Beverly - beautiful show there the last time I saw her.

We purchased front row tickets as we are big fans. However, there was a hearing impaired fan in the road behind us, and therefore the signers were stationed directly in front of us so we could not see the performance at all. I approach the staff and they receded us in the front row on the other side of the stage, thankfully, we appreciated that. We wish they had thought of this prior to the performance. As we did get stuck in folding chairs, but ultimately it was a good outcome. as always the show was great.

Ani always puts on a great live show. My favorite living songwriter, hands down. Set was missing a lot of the deep cuts I was hoping for, but that's inevitable, given a 30-year career, with a new release pretty much every year. The surprise cut from Hadestown made up for it, LOL. Venue is the perfect size. Crowd was respectful and diverse. Wryn did a great job opening as well. So glad I was able to attend.

Awesome show, awesome venue. Saw Ani in my 20’s, and she killed it in my 40’s. Her messaging is more relevant today than ever!

I’ve been going to see Ani since my college days and she only gets better! So much fun and such an amazing performer!!0

Ani never disappoints and it was an amazing concert. The opening act was awesome as well

I've been going to Ani shows since 1999 and love them just as must now as then. We really need more outspoken artists like her, especially now! She is such a great musician and lyricist, and the band rocks!

This review is for my entire experience from waiting in line to enter to being wished a very pleasant evening by the Bellwether staff. Every single person we encountered from box office to bar tenders to merch vendors were so incredibly inviting and friendly. Great vibes at the Bellwether all around. And as for the legendary Ani Difranco, I could never express how much her presence and talent and poetry speaks to me and this show was nothing less the her best. Love love love her!! Rock n roll Rightous Babe!!!!

It's been about 20 years since I saw Ani live and she did not disappoint. The venue and set list was great, as was her opener Joy Clark. I just wish the audience had gotten out of their seats before the encore...not how I remember my previous 18 live shows...maybe we're all just getting old.

She is the poet we need for these times and all times. One of the best artists I’ve ever seen. Ani rocks in a way that opens my brain and soothes my soul. She is a legend. The best…
