Ani DiFranco at Belly Up
Somewhere around your nineteenth birthday, a voice came through a borrowed speaker and rearranged something in you before you had the vocabulary to say what. It sounded like someone had taken every feeling you'd been told was too much and turned it into a guitar tuning.
Ani DiFranco has been that voice for thirty years. She built her own label before the phrase 'independent artist' existed as a career path. She sold millions of records out of a P.O. box in Buffalo. She plays guitar like she's trying to win an argument with it, and she writes lyrics that make you feel like she overheard the conversation you were having with yourself at 2 AM.
Belly Up in Solana Beach is the kind of room where the stage is close enough that you can see the calluses on the guitarist's fingers. It holds maybe 600 people. When the artist is Ani DiFranco, those 600 people came alone and leave feeling like they showed up with their whole life story and someone finally read it back to them.
Belly Up Tavern, 143 S Cedros Ave, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Doors 7 PM, show 8 PM. Tickets from $49.
