Poet/performer embraces struggle
Considered 'by many as one ol the most
powerful feminist music and poetry
writer/performers of our generation, Am
DiFranco, will be performing next Friday on the
EMU, East lawn's mam stage
Independent and vocal best describes this young
folk singer from New York, who has slowly been mak
ing her way into the hearts and album collections of
new fans throughout the country DiFranco, 22, has
already released three albums and developed a musi
cal presence that both provokes and captivates audi
ences Her songs are based on experience and
convey strong, forceful messages
She seems to have it all a clipped, edgy guitar
style, forceful melodies, stingy lyrics and an
amazingly flexible and dynamic voice, which make it
difficult not to be affected by her message From
songs like "Gratitude" (Irom Not So Soilt. which
depicts a man pushing himsett on a woman in return
tor a favor, to "Coming Up" (Irom Imperfectly) about
corporate greed and urban blight, just about
everyone can relate to something she says
"I figure, what do I know better to write about than
myself," said DiFranco. who has been living on her
own, establishing her singular rules of
independence since the age of 15 "I think of myself
as three-dimensional and normal because of my
experiences and so my music has me in it Music is
so close to who we are," she said
DiFranco attended the New School For Social
Research in New York, where she was confronted
with a lot of social and feminist issues everyday
