Anna Tivel

• Folk
• Singer/Songwriter

Anna Tivel is a Northwest-based, internationally touring songwriter who is forever drawn to the quiet stories of ordinary life. The characters and imagery that populate her writing are full of breath and vivid color. With four full length albums out and a fifth on the way, Anna has been likened to a short story writer and praised by NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and others for her keen observations of the human condition.

Living Thing, the newest album from songwriter Anna Tivel, is an arcing dive into the existential. Written through the tumultuous eyes of 2020 and recorded in profound collaboration with friend and producer Shane Leonard, these are songs of struggle and aliveness expressed with great joy. Tivel is a writer drawn to seminal questions. What is it that makes us human? What are we for? How do we move as we reach toward each other, change our minds, learn to love? The nine songs that make up Living Thing look deep into the core and do so with groove and energy.
