Anais Mitchell is back with a new record called Young Man In America.

Anais Mitchell: In Studio

Soundcheck | Sep 4, 2012

Anais Mitchell thinks big. When we last heard from the singer-songwriter, she had written a modern take on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice for her 2010 album Hadestown. Now she’s back with a new record called Young Man In America -- an album full of mythical characters and stories from our own place and time. Before Mitchell and her band hit the road with Bon Iver this fall, she joins us in the studio for a live performance. 

Set List:

  • "Ships"
  • "Tailor"
  • "Annmarie"
