This Friday, Nov. 3, Newport Live welcomes a special artist on tour from Ireland, Anna Mieke.

She will be performing at the Colony House on Washington Square in Newport (site of the Colonial Legislature, and the filming of “Amistad” and “The Gilded Age”) at 7 p.m.

General admission tickets are $35 and available through EventBrite and via the Newport Live website. Opening will be Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist, Adelyn Strei. Beer and wine will be available for purchase courtesy of Ragged Island Brewing and Greenvale Vineyards.

Anna Mieke’s songwriting and enveloping compositions have asserted her as a vital voice among Ireland’s alt-folk genre. The Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter toes the line between folk forms and vivid dreamscapes, drawing on traditional and contemporary motifs.

The release of the Wicklow-based artist’s critically acclaimed debut album, “Idle Mind,” from 2019, garnered Anna Mieke a nomination in the “Best Emerging Act” category at the RTÉ Folk Awards. Early 2022 saw her headline tours across Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and further afield, with a week-long residency in New York. Early 2023 took her and her band back to North America for a 16-date headline tour, followed by support tours with Florist and Iron and Wine across Europe and the U.S.
