Tony and Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell (Hadestown, Bonny Light Horseman, Big Red Machine) has just revealed the second single from her forthcoming self-titled new record, ‘Brooklyn Bridge’.
‘Brooklyn Bridge’ finds Mitchell narrating what she calls “an unbearably romantic” trip over the Brooklyn Bridge coloured by Bon Iver member Michael Lewis’ heartstring-tugging saxophone accompaniment.
Last month Anaïs Mitchell announced her first solo record in over a decade. The self-titled full-length will be available on January 28, 2022 via BMG. Produced by Josh Kaufman, the 10-song album also features core players including Kaufman, Michael Lewis, JT Bates, Thomas Bartlett and Aaron Dessner, with string and flute arrangements provided by Nico Muhly. Dubbed by NPR as “one of the greatest songwriters of her generation”, the Vermont-based Mitchell is a master of the worlds of narrative folk song, poetry and balladry, and the 10 songs on this record are a perfect showcase of her skills. Pre-order the album HERE.
Mitchell previously shared the first single from the album, ‘Bright Star’, a song “about looking back on years of restless pursuit and making peace with the source of that longing: the Muse, the Great Unknown, the One That Got Away — those things that motivate us that we never can touch.”
Mitchell will headline a US tour that kicks off in January 2022, where she will be joined by players from the record, as well as her own Bonny Light Horseman bandmates, who will also perform their own set. Mitchell has headlined worldwide and supported tours for Bon Iver, Josh Ritter and Punch Brothers. Her music has featured in year-end best lists, including NPR, Wall Street Journal, MOJO, Uncut, The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Observer.
Mitchell is also a Tony and Grammy-award-winning creator of the Broadway musical ‘Hadestown’ for which she wrote the book, music and lyrics. ‘Hadestown’ won eight Tony Awards overall, including Best Musical as well as the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. She was named to TIME’s prestigious TIME100 list in 2020, and her first book, ‘Working on a Song – The Lyrics of Hadestown’, was published by Penguin/Plume in the same year.
‘Brooklyn Bridge’ is available worldwide now, through BMG

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
