Anaïs Mitchell is a Vermont-born singer-songwriter and theatrical composer known for her storytelling-driven folk music and her extraordinary ability to blend intimate lyricism with grand, mythological narrative. Her acclaimed concept album Hadestown reimagines the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as a Depression-era folk opera, and went on to become a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. Mitchell's work stands as some of the most ambitious and emotionally resonant writing in contemporary American folk.
