On 8 Dec 2006, Anaïs’ ‘folk opera’ “Hadestown” débuted (written / produced in collaboration with composer Michael Chorney & director Ben T. Matchstick). On 13 Feb 2007, her third album, The Brightness was released (Righteous Babe).
Hadestown, a concept album based on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, was released on March 9, 2010. It features contributions from Justin Vernon as Orpheus, Ani Difranco as Persephone, Greg Brown as Hades, and Ben Knox Miller as Hermes; Anais herself sings the part of Eurydice.
Her new album, Young Man in America, will be released on February 28, 2012.

People who enjoyed Hadestown should urgently check the rest of her catalogue, she has released brilliant albums with no fillers or weak tracks. Such a promisingly talented young soul.
