About Anna Smyrk
With a voice described as ‘truly astonishing' by Rolling Stone, Anna Smyrk is a powerful singer and song-maker from Australia. Her songs range from hook-laden anthems to vulnerable alt-folk ballads, all tied together by her unique voice and astute lyricism.
The last year has been massive for Anna, with highlights including touring North America and Europe, official showcases at NXNE (Canada), Folk Alliance International (USA) and Live at Heart (Sweden) and recording a new EP in Nashville with award-winning producer Jake Finch and Collin Patore (Lucy Dacus).
Her most recent release, a collection of long-distance love songs that sits somewhere in the sonic realm between Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen and Middle Kids, cemented her reputation as ‘a significant songwriter with an exceptional voice' (Backseat Mafia UK). Singles from the EP have been added to rotation on national radio and MTV and described as ‘soul-stirring' by Triple J.
Anna has toured widely throughout Australia and this summer will see her gracing stages at Port Fairy Folk Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.
