Ani DiFrancoâStill Righteous, Still Revolutionary June 10, 2021
Ani DiFranco s Kay acoustic was modded by Reuben Cox of L.A. s Old Style Guitar Shop. He puts rubber around the bridges of guitars and they end up very funky, dead, and earthy, like an old dude on a porch suddenly playing it, she says.

The acoustic firebrand recorded with a band of masked strangers, using her modded vintage Kay acoustics for the songs of social upheaval and survival on her 22nd
album,
Revolutionary Love. Then, she got arrested.
While the world lay dormant under strict lockdowns, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and activist Ani DiFranco stepped out to make a strong political statement. DiFranco and her crew went to a Shell oil refinery to film the video for Simultaneously, from her latest release,
Saint Cloud and was filmed in Kansas City. The two entities also partnered for Ani DiFranco s
Revolutionary Love album release with a livestream on April 18.
“Ground Control Touring is one of the sharpest - and, let’s be honest, coolest - agencies in music, and we’re excited to be partnering with them on our shared mission of bringing their acts’ live music goals to fruition,” said Mandolin CEO
Mary Kay Huse in a release.
Under the terms of the deal, Mandolin will power upcoming GCTV streams and serve as a continuation of the series that Ground Control Touring launched in mid 2020 to provide a solution for their artists to present ticketed live and pre-recorded streaming concerts. Shows hosted on Mandolin through GCTV will not be limited to Ground Control Touring clients and will include non-GCT bands, festivals, and other partners as well.
