> Greetings from the righteous office babes up here in Buffalo, NY.
> After 15 years of non-stop touring, often performing over 100 gigs per
> year, Ani DiFranco will take a hiatus from live performance, after the
> current July tour ends, until summer 2006.
>
> Over the past few months, Ani has suffered from an inflammation of the
> nerves and tendons in both her wrists and hands. After having received a
> diagnosis of tendonitis in late spring, Ani's doctor instructed her to
> follow a regimen of relative rest, restriction of hand use to critical
> times, non-steroidal medications, and splinting. Unfortunately, after
> having taken almost three months off from touring earlier this year to
> treat her condition, Ani's problems have not decreased in severity. If
she
> were to continue to perform at this time, she would risk permanent nerve
> damage to her hands. Therefore, the decision was made to cancel upcoming
> tours, starting with the West Coast tour planned for late August and
early
> September 2005, and provide Ani with a sufficient amount of time to make
a
> full recovery.
>
> For those who already have tickets to one of the cancelled performances,
> please check with the people you purchased the tickets from for
> instructions on receiving a refund.

> Although the Little Folksinger will be off the road, naturally she will

in

will

on

> We are deeply grateful for the understanding and concern from all of you

> that great things are coming on the horizon, and we look forward to
> sharing them with you in the coming months.
