Folk-rock singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco has mapped out a few additional dates to her upcoming headlining act. The tour begins on September 5 in Turin (NY) and ends in New York on November 21. Most of the new additions are in the month of October. The cities on the itinerary include Minneapolis (MN), Chicago (IL), Fargo (ND), Berkeley (CA) and Albany (NY) and many others. Ani's latest album, "Red Letter Year' was released last September through her own label, Righteous Babe. It is her 20th studio release and her first album since her move to New Orleans and the birth of her child. A new live album has also been released, containing a 19-song performance at Saratoga, the Mountain Winery in CA, from September 2006. It includes the tracks "Red Letter Year', "Coming Up' and "Studying Stones'. The backing crew will include Todd Sickafoose on upright bass and Allison Miller on drums.
