Marisa Anderson

Marisa Anderson performing The Anthology Of UnAmerican Folk Music.

Marisa will be touring her new album, called The Anthology Of UnAmerican Folk Music: Volume 1. The record will be released May 2026 on Thrill Jockey as part of a larger multi-year release project connected to her ongoing work curation of what she calls the Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music.
This curated collection draws from nearly one thousand songs sourced from the private record collection of Harry Smith, where she is focusing on music from regions where the United States has engaged in conflict since 1970, including Southeast Asia, the former USSR, and the Arabic and Islamic world. Very relevant at the moment!
