With a voice described as ‘truly astonishing’ by Rolling Stone, Anna Smyrk is a powerful singer and song-maker from Australia. Her songs range from hook-laden anthems to vulnerable alt-folk ballads, all tied together by her stunning voice and astute lyricism.

The last year has been massive for Anna, with highlights including touring North America and Europe and official showcases at SXSW (Austin TX) and Folk Alliance International (Kansas City, MO).

Anna’s most recent EP, Cortisol and Blue Light, was recorded in Nashville with award-winning producers Jake Finch and Collin Pastore (boygenius, Lucy Dacus). The record sizzles with smart songwriting and wry observations as it explores themes of fight or flight and the push/pull effect in relationships. The record charted on US college radio and singles were added to MTV.

Anna has toured widely all over the world, playing major festivals like Port Fairy (Aus), Woodford (Aus) and Mile of Music (WI) and supporting some of Australia’s most beloved artists. Whether performing solo or with her all-star band, Anna brings her charming stage presence, relatable stories and exquisite vocal performance, drawing comparisons to artists ranging from Kate Bush and Maggie Rogers, to the Cranberries and Big Thief.

Described by Backseat Mafia UK as “a significant songwriter with an exceptional voice,” Anna Smyrk is a formidable artist on the rise. Her debut album will be released in 2025.
