Todd Sickafoose's 'Bear Proof'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Sep 21, 2023

Bear Proof is the name of a new album from composer and longtime bassist for Ani DiFranco, Todd Sickafoose. It's his first release of original music in fifteen years. Sickafoose recorded the album in 2014. The album process had to be put on pause however following the success of the musical "Hadestown," which he helped compose, winning a Grammy and Tony as a result. Bear Proof is out on September 29, and Sickafoose joins us for a preview Listening Party.
