Dar’s history with Ani DiFranco runs many years deep. From performing together in their early years at Canadian and US folk festivals to collaborating on recordings such as “Comfortably Numb” on Dar’s Album "My Better Self," they have met on many stages and share similar passions for their audiences, the causes they embrace, and, of course, the music that brings it all together.

“Dar and I go back a lot of decades and I’m so pleased to be able to offer her and her music shelter now, in this stormy world,” Ani says. “We celebrate and welcome Dar into the Righteous Babe fold!"

Dar agrees, “This is such an important time to be a part of a musical community that stands with a larger community. I’m thrilled and grateful to be joining Ani in this world she has built.”

We look forward to sending Dar’s next recording out into the world this fall. More information about the album and tour coming soon!
