Anna Mieke : Theatre

Anna Mieke is an Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Wicklow, Ireland, whose work 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. Divining inspiration from trips through Europe by bike, learning Maori songs as a child in New Zealand and learning traditional songs in Bulgaria, she has amassed skills as a guitarist, bouzouki player, pianist, cellist and preeminently, a vocalist.

The release of the Wicklow-based artists critically acclaimed debut album, Idle Mind from 2019, garnered Anna Mieke a nomination in the ‘Best Emerging Act category at the RT Folk Awards. Early 2022 saw her headline tours across Spain, UK, Ireland and further afield, with a week-long residency in New York (May 2022),
