Anaïs Mitchell has studied and traveled extensively, which is no doubt the reason for her rather intellectual approach to folk. After two independent albums, The Song They Song...When Rome Fell (2002) and Hymns for the Exiled (2004), Anaïs Mitchell was offered a chance by her role model Ani DiFranco. She released The Brightness in 2007, before tackling the project of a folk and social opera with Hadestown. The project saw the light of day in 2010, with the participation of Ani DiFranco herself.
