Here’s the press release we received:
 
Ani DiFranco’s performance November 11 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville will feature a presentation by Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich.  DiFranco’s November tour is dedicated to promoting clean, sustainable energy solutions to the climate change crisis and opposing the construction of new nuclear power reactors.  Rep. Kucinich will address these issues and announce his new proposal to launch the Works Green Administration, which will put millions of Americans to work developing and implementing "green strategies" for alternative fuels development, energy conservation, research and technology, and the retro-fitting of homes, businesses, and government facilities to make them more energy efficient.  
 
DiFranco is currently touring with her band:  Todd Sickafoose on upright bass, Allison Miller on drums and Mike Dillon on vibraphone and percussion.  
 
Kucinich is not only a huge fan and personal friend of Ani, but also an admirer of how she is able to reach out to millions of people with a message, set to song, that "opens people’s eyes and ears to the importance and urgency of taking our planet seriously, protecting it, and finding ways to improve it for generations to come."
