Emerging Folk Singer Anna Mieke Returns To Club Passim On November 6

Irish singer-songwriter Anna Mieke will perform songs from her most recent album Theatre at Club Passim on November 6. The up and coming Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Wicklow, Ireland, tows the line between folk forms and vivid dreamscapes, drawing on traditional and contemporary motifs, asserting her as a vital voice in Ireland's alt-folk genre. Mieke's music plays on themes of travel, childhood memories, and nostalgia. Singer Adelyn Strei will open the show. Tickets are on sale now at passim.org.

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

February of 2023 took her and her band back to North America for a 16-date headline tour, including shows in NYC, LA, San Francisco, and at Club Passim, followed by support tours with Florist and Iron and Wine across Europe and the US. Across her career, she has shared stages with Iron and Wine, Anais Mitchell, Lankum, Florist, and This Is The Kit, with a support tour opening for Wilco in Ireland in September 2023.

Anna Mieke's second album, Theatre, which she recorded and co-produced with Nick Rayner and featured contributions from long-standing bandmates Ryan Hargadon (Kojaque) and Matthew Jacobson (UMBRA), as well as Rozi Leyden (Rozi Plain), Brían Mac Gloinn (Ye Vagabonds), Lina Andonovska, Alannah Thornburgh and Cora Venus Lunny, was released in November 2022. Her album received nominations in the 2022 Irish Choice Awards for Album of the Year and the RTE Folk Awards for Best Original Track with "Twin."

Adelyn Strei, a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in NYC will open the show.
