Born in the American South, Louis Ledford has carved out a career composing and performing literate Americana roots music. He has produced three solo recordings in association with Waterbug Records and also has collaborated with folk diva Anais Mitchell on several projects including his singing the role of Hades for an early roadshow performing songs that became the bones of her Tony winning Broadway musical Hadestown. Mitchell recorded his song "When You Fall" for her collaborative album Country EP with Rachel Ries released by Ani Difranco's Righteous Babe Records.

She has released more than 20 albums, and is widely considered a feminist icon.DiFranco was born in Buffalo, New York, to Elizabeth and Dante DiFranco, who had met while attending MIT. She started playing Beatles covers at local bars and busking with her guitar teacher, Michael Meldrum, at the age of nine.In 1989, DiFranco started her own record company, Righteous Records. Early in her career DiFranco worked with manager Dale Anderson, a writer for the Buffalo News, who started another record label called Hot Wings Records, after the two parted ways, that released similar sounding material.

Later, she relocated to New York City, where she took poetry classes at The New School and toured vigorously for the next 15 years, essentially pausing briefly only to record albums.

In addition to being fans of Blink 182, Alkaline Trio's influences range from well-known national acts like Social Distortion and Green Day to Chicago-area punk rock favorites such as Smoking Popes and Naked Raygun. The Trio's Skiba was also highly influenced by the sound and style of singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, whose self-produced CDs filled with thoughtful and original songs inspired many songwriters of the mid-1990s. Skiba told Gavin Edwards of Rolling Stone, "When the Alkaline Trio started, I wanted us to sound like Ani DiFranco playing Husker Du." 2ff7e9595c
