Her personal ‘Side’

ANI DIFRANCO “Every time I open my mouth/ I take off my clothes/ And I’m raw and frostbitten/ From being exposed.” Those are the first words you hear on DiFranco’s solid new album, “¿Which Side Are You On?,” which reminds you that there’s no separation between the personal and the political in her work. Pearl and the Beard, a gloriously unhinged indie-folk trio from New York, opens. Nov. 13, 8 p.m. Tickets: $39. Wilbur Theatre. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com James Reed
