Ani DiFranco Plays the Park Theatre Sunday Night

Ani DiFranco at Park Theatre Sunday

Ani Difranco is known as the “little singer-songwriter” who became famous for her protest driven folk music. In recent years, she’s embraced jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds. Her most recent album, Alergic to Water, is a sparse little gem – well worth checking out. She returns to Cranston's Park Theatre Sunday night at 7:30PM. Mike and Ruthy open – tickets start at $35.

Robert Earl Keen at The Met

Texas troubadour Robert Earl Keen saunters into town Tuesday November 17 for what promises to be a great show at The Met. Keen’s songs have been recorded by George Strait, Nanci Griffith and The Dixie Chicks and his latest release Happy Prisoner: The Bluegrass Sessions was well received. Local troubadour Mark Cutler opens at 8PM. Tickets are $30.
