Anna Tivel

Anna Tivel is an American songwriter who grounds her work in the quiet stories of everyday life. She’s a keen and detailed observer, and the characters that move through her lyrics come alive in small moments of beauty and struggle. With seven full length albums out on Portland's beloved Fluff & Gravy Records, Anna has been likened to a short story writer and praised by Pitchfork, NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard and others for her vivid and attentive songs. “Tivel’s characters are both common and unforgettable,” Ann Powers of NPR writes, “ She possesses a genuine poet's sense that words matter more than persona, or a showy performance. Her images linger, and become populated with the energy of the real.”
