Ani DiFranco expands Canon tour, brings Over the Rhine

Ani DiFranco plans to continue her tour across the U.S. in support of her first compilation album Canon (2007). As reported at LiveDaily, The self-described “Little Folksinger” will be joined by her regular ensemble of Todd Sickafoose on upright bass and Allison Miller on drums.

Another free-spirited band plans to contribute its sound to some of her powerhouse shows as well. Over the Rhine will join DiFranco at 11 venues next month, culminating in a show at the original House of Blues. Afterwards, DiFranco will trek through the west coast all the way up to Canada:
