Bio
Anais (uh-nay-is) Mitchell (born 26 March 1981) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and playwright from Vermont, USA, who attended Middlebury College. Anais' voice is akin to Cyndi Lauper's & song-writing / delivery's inspired by the confessional styling of artists such as Ani DiFranco.
The first set comes from Mitchell's current project, Bonny Light Horseman – something of a supergroup with Eric D Johnson of Fruit Bats on lead vocals and Josh Kaufman (who has worked with Craig Finn and Josh Ritter) on guitar.
It’s 12 years since Anais Mitchell began writing folk opera Hadestown – and it was another four before this bold and acclaimed resetting of the Orpheus and Eurydice tale in Depression-era America began to creep into wider consciousness in album form.
