From Broadway to a Vermont Farm: Anaïs Mitchell Returns Home for Solo Record

Anaïs Mitchell has won a Grammy and 8 Tony awards for her musical, 'Hadestown.' She’s also in the band Bonny Light Horseman and has been featured as part of Big Red Machine, the musical project of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner of the National. She’s now out with her first new solo album in a decade. Mitchell talks with Sound & Vision’s Emily Fox about leaving New York City early in the pandemic to give birth at her parents’ farm in Vermont, and staying there to write an album that’s filled with childhood nostalgia.  Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
