Anais Mitchell plays Club Passim on June 17th (with Anne Heaton). From her bio:

Part dustbowl rabble-rouser, part Cosmic American poet, Anais remains passionate about the music of her forefathers while growing inspired by fellow rising indie artists. Mitchell fuses a classic, world-weary folk troubadour’s experience of the human condition with postmodern charm and finesse, then wraps it in a sweet lilting timbre and releases it like a mourning dove sent to stir the sound waves and pluck the heartstrings of people halfway around the world.
