Buffalo-based singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco is known for her staunchly independent stance and thoughtful lyrics. DiFranco has released records on her own label, Righteous Babe Records, for a number of years, and in 2007 she took the next logical step by opening up her own venue in downtown Buffalo. LIVE AT BABEVILLE captures the first two shows at the venue, on September 11 and 12, and features 17 songs by the charismatic singer. Among the highlights are reworking of tracks such as "Napoleon," "Independence Day," and "Hypnotized".
