Anna Graves / Bar Bad

Anna Graves is an alt-folk artist whose music casts spells through storytelling. Raised on a farm in southern Minnesota, she left home in pursuit of big dreams and bright lights, only to return years later and rediscover the mystical magic that first sparked her songwriting.

Her sound weaves cinematic pop melodies with folk intimacy, creating a space where vulnerability transforms into power and heartbreak alchemizes into healing. With over 25 million global streams and sync placements in the Golden Globe–nominated series Nobody Wants This, as well as Brilliant Minds and The Chicken Sisters, Graves has built a devoted following through authentic connection rather than traditional industry machinery.

Her most recent single, “Hollow Bones,” has surpassed 1.6 million streams, driven entirely by fan passion, with more than 15,000 TikTok creations (generating over 18 million views) sparking organic trends across WitchTok and home-aesthetic communities. The track resonated so deeply that Shaboozey selected it as one of his five favorite songs for Harper’s BAZAAR.

She has opened for legends such as Stevie Nicks, the Head and the Heart, and Maren Morris, bringing her intimate acoustic storytelling to stages across North America. Now signed to Rounder Records, Graves returns with "Burn On," a song she first wrote in high school, rediscovered on an old computer, and reimagined with producer Davis Naish (Forest Blakk, Thomas Day, Bethany Cosentino, Maggie Rose). The result is a haunting anthem of rediscovery that feels both ancient and urgent—grounded in Minnesota soil while reaching toward something universal.

Where folk music meets mystical storytelling, and where farm life intersects with literary fantasy—that’s where you’ll find Anna Graves, singing songs for the haunted and the hopeful.

Bar Bad is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, whistler, and Berklee alumnus creating music that feels like memory, movement, and a little bit of chaos. Based between Boston and New York, he draws from alternative rock, experimental music, and the sounds of the Middle East to craft songs that are honest, cinematic, and difficult to categorize.

Born and raised in Iran, his work carries a quiet sense of distance and longing while never losing its pulse. On stage, Bar Bad uses his voice, whistle, and even silence as instruments. His songs move between longing and release, exile and tenderness, and the body that remembers and the heart that keeps pretending it has forgotten.

He is currently working on his debut album.
