Anais Mitchell

Anaïs Mitchell - www.anaismitchell.comThis is a couple short reviews of my favorite Folk Artist who is now on a 2 week European tour: "Mitchell's compositions are undeniably lovely. They drag listeners in with a fiery earnestness that demands notice."-Exclaim! MagazineListening to this 25-year-old singer/songwriter performing her meticulously written songs and fervently singing them in a distinctive, almost childlike voice, you'd think it was her life mission to rouse the hearts and minds of her listeners with an acoustic guitar. Her big-thinking folk albums play like front-porch serenades.Anaïs has been on an exciting road, from tending a Vermont sheep farm to releasing independent CDs to touring with Ani Difranco. Not one to rest on her laurels, she recently wrote and staged the folk-opera Hadestown, which was based on the myth of Hades and Eurydice.
