——————————————-

Anna Tivel is a Portland, OR-based songwriter who grounds her work in quiet stories of everyday struggle. She’s a keen and detailed observer, and the characters in her songs come alive in small moments of beauty and despair. 

“Tivel’s characters are both common and unforgettable,” Ann Powers of NPR writes, “ She possesses a genuine poet's sense that words matter more than persona, or a showy performance. Her images linger, and become populated with the energy of the real.” 

Of great depths and beautiful voice. Anna reaches for the thread of understanding with her music, that moment of recognition, of shared experience through her quiet stories of ordinary life.  Her characters are both common and unforgettable.  There are questions behind all her songs, things we all struggle with again and again, questions of identity and hurt and kindness. 

Anna’s return to Tsunami will be a special night.  www.annativel.com
