Anna Mieke’s deft songwriting and enveloping compositions have asserted her as a vital voice amongst Ireland’s alt-folk genre. The Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Wicklow, Ireland, toes the line between folk forms and vivid dreamscapes, drawing on traditional and contemporary motifs. The lyrically ornate and instrumental delicacy of her work, alongside flowing atmospheric arrangements, contributes a challenging, emphatic and new voice to alt-folk. 

Ireland’s Anna Mieke today announced a 2023 North American tour supporting her immersive, otherworldly new album Theatre, released last month via Nettwerk. The February run of dates takes her from Boston (2/1) to Los Angeles (2/23), including stops along the way at NYC’s Mercury Lounge (2/3) and Chicago’s Old Town School of Music (2/10).

Theatre has been earning great press from Uncut, MOJO, The Irish Examiner, Shindig!, Northern Transmissions and more, while its singles—“Seraphim,” “Mannequin,” “For A Time,” “Twin”—have earned additional praise from FLOOD Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, Cool Hunting, and Guitar World, among others. The LP envelopes listeners in the warmth of Anna Mieke’s world, radiating with an intense heat that lies closer to the desert or the jungle than her hometown of Wicklow, IE.

Theatre’s vivid soundscapes mirror Anna Mieke’s lush and adventurous upbringing; as a child, she cycled over The Pyrenees to Gibraltar, and lived and went to school in New Zealand (age 5) - "Climbing glaciers and an active volcano, trekking through jungles...I remember that otherworldly feeling, somewhere totally alien to all my senses,” she recalls of her time there. Theatre encapsulates this feeling. A captivating artistic statement, it finds Anna Mieke at her most assured and poetic as she contributes a challenging, exciting new voice to alt-folk.
