Anna Tivel is a Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter with a flair for capturing intimate moments and crafting strong, narrative-driven Americana-tinged indie folk songs. After debuting in 2014, she earned increasing critical acclaim for releases like 2017's Small Believer and 2019's The Question. Her 2021 album Blue World featured new arrangements of previously recorded material. Raised in rural northern Washington, Tivel comes from a musical family and grew up playing the violin. After a move to Portland, she began writing songs and developed an affinity for framing her poetic observations within gentle, often somber folk songs. She released her debut album, Before Machines, in 2014, on Portland-based Fluff & Gravy Records.
