AwardWinning and highly original US singersongwriter, known for Hadestown
“The most engaging, most original artist working in the field of new American ‘folk’ music” Independent “Beautifully original, bristling with savage melancholy” The Daily TelegraphAnaïs Mitchell is a storyteller. As a Vermont-based singer-songwriter, Mitchell recorded for Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe Records before starting her own Wilderland label. Her recorded works comprise five albums, including the sensationally-reviewed Hadestown – a folk opera based on the Orpheus myth and Young Man in America, described by the Independent as ‘an epic tale of American becoming’ and for which she received a BBC Radio Two Folk Award nomination for Best Original Song.
Mitchell has headlined worldwide and toured with Bon Iver, Ani Difranco, The Low Anthem, Richard Thompson, Josh Ritter and Punch Brothers. Her Child Ballads album, is a collection of Celtic and British Isles ballads, which won a 2014 BBC Radio Two Folk Award for Best Traditional Song. In 2014, Mitchell released ‘xoa'; a collection of re-recorded songs spanning her career. The common thread in Mitchell’s work, is that she’s as interested in the world around her as the one inside her. She has a way of tackling big themes with the same emotional intimacy most artists use to describe their inner lives. “That’s why,” as one journalist put it, “even in her most intimate moments, she never sounds like a confessional songwriter.”
Hadestown, based on the acclaimed album, opened at the New York Theatre Workshop in May. A project Anais and her collaborators have been working on for the stage adaptation for ten years.
“Hadestown is artfully articulated and produced. There isn’t anything remotely like it.” All Music Guide
“Anaïs sings of love among the ruins, coming of age to find yourself an outsider looking for the place you belong, finding other strangers along the way. Details … are offered like clues or keys to the reality all of us sense is imminent and eternal beneath the surfaces of things.” Hugh Blumenfeld, Sing Out!
"A songwriter of startling clarity and depth, equally skilled at turning a melody or lyrical phrase into what you didn't know you needed until you heard it." Acoustic Guitar “A rare musician and fearless explorer” Righteous Babe
