This post over at Buffalo Rising caught my eye.

Rand and I saw Anais Mitchell at Nietzche’s with Greg Klyma a while back…maybe late 2005? We also picked up her wonderful CD Hymns for the Exiled and got to have a late-night snack at Towne with her and Greg.

She’s a very talented, very cool person, and I’m excited to see that she’s (a) signed with Righteous Babe Records, and (b) playing at Nietzche’s this Friday night. The Righteous Babe thing makes complete sense, because Anais is very clearly influenced by Ani. I don’t know if we’ll make it to the show, with the documentarians in town and all, but if you get the chance to see her, you really should. 🙂
