Anna Tivel is a Portland, OR based folk musician who performs under the moniker Anna and the Underbelly. Anna, who also plays fiddle with the Shook Twins, began writing her own original music only two years ago, and has already released her debut full-length album, entitled Brimstone Lullaby. Here, Anna talks about her many influences, her early days as a little kid "with a unibrow and a bowl cut" playing violin on the street for tips, and making mixtapes off the radio with contents ranging from Bach to Boyz II Men. www.annaandtheunderbelly.com
