Anna Graves

Anna Graves is a must-hear Americana artist for complicated times on America’s Greatest Burnout, her debut album for Rounder Records. In an era where tech is king, Graves is a songwriter rooted in the simple joys of nature, drawing inspiration from the pristine countryside of her home state of Minnesota, the farm on which she was raised, and the rescue horses she helps to foster. But don’t be fooled by the album’s title: Graves, who has 65 million global streams to date, is no burnout. Her song “Fly” was featured in a pivotal scene in the Netflix series Nobody Wants This, and singles like “Hollow Bones,” “Ashes & Smoke,” and the new “Damn in Love” have earned her a loyal fanbase. With America’s Greatest Burnout, produced by Davis Naish, Graves further builds that audience. “America’s Greatest Burnout is the story of falling off the horse and picking yourself back up again as an adult, and reevaluating what success means to you,” Graves says. “It’s about learning to fall into the dirt, finding the courage to dust yourself off, and getting up to do it all over again…stumbling forward, perhaps a bit scuffed, dirty, and bruised, but wiser and stronger than ever.”
