Ani DiFranco, a pathbreaking and highly original artist, is one of the most influential singer-songwriters of her generation. Her newest book is The Spirit of Ani: Reflections on Spirituality, Feminism, Music, and Freedom (2026), an intimate exploration of her personal journey, creative process, spirituality, activism, and evolving consciousness in conversation with coauthor Lauren Coyle Rosen.
A Grammy winner and feminist icon, she created her own record label, Righteous Babe Records, in 1990. Her memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream, was a New York Times bestseller, and she is the author of two children’s books, The Knowing and Show Up and Vote. In 2024, she completed a five-month run on Broadway in the role of Persephone in "Hadestown."
Lauren Coyle Rosen is no longer able to join this event due to unforeseen circumstances.
Major support for The Creative Life is provided by the University at Albany Foundation.
