Anais Mitchell
Anais on MySpace
From a 200-year-old farmhouse in rural Vermont, Ana?s Mitchell writes songs that are as intimate as conversations and as rich in detail as short stories. With three full length critically acclaimed albums under her belt, including ?Hadestown? which received sensational reviews from all corners such as The Guardian, Times, Rolling Stone and NME, Mitchell has played hundreds of shows across the world, including performances and tours with Emmylou Harris, Bon Iver, Richard Thompson, Ani diFranco, the Low Anthem, Shawn Colvin and Josh Ritter among others. Mitchell is that rare musician who is equally comfortable wielding an acoustic guitar alone onstage, or scripting a vast operatic journey into the underworld.

Dan Michaelson and The Coastguards
MYSPACEDAN MICHAELSON & THE COASTGUARDS is the new project from the voice of ABSENTEE. Bringing together an unplanned but stellar lineup, perhaps a more fitting title would be Dan Michaelson and Friends, but that?d be far too simple.
"A perfect confection"**** Epoch Times
"Your ears naturally tune into Michaelson's skill at putting words to the parts of relationships that usually stay silent. The cruel asymmetry of romance is addressed exquisitely, recalling the resigned grandeur of the Go-Betweens' Robert Forster
