Anaïs Mitchell
, b. 1981
Anaïs Mitchell is an American songwriter and singer. She released five albums, among which Hadestown, with songs based on Greek mythology (mainly on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice). Her first album was The Song They Sang When Rome Fell in 2002, and is also inspired by the classical antiquity. Before the releasing of Hadestown she traveled around the world, staying close to various political and social issues. Then she gathered her ideas and composed a political/social/mythical musical experience – an idea of her own. Her music style can be described as folk jazz, even though she uses and mixes various styles and genres.
