i discovered Ani in the fall of 2007 and have been a diehard fan ever since. not only are her lyrics and poetry INCREDIBLE, her guitar-playing is also top notch. she uses a lot of complicated scales and harmonics and likes to experiment with funky tunings.
i saw her live for the first time about a year ago, and i was so overwhelmed with joy i almost cried. (i took my poor boyfriend with me and he was one of like three guys in the audience! haha, he's such a good sport).
i also like that Ani is an LGBT icon (she has always been an open bisexual), and is an incredible role model for young women. she is passionate about women's rights and abortion rights, and is very active in the music communities in her old hometown of Buffalo, NY and her new hometown of New Orleans.
she's amazing. my favorite musician ever. anyone share the sentiment?
