With vivid storytelling, vibrant musicianship and arresting honesty, Anya Hinkle explores the beauty of song craft through the lens of Appalachian folk traditions. Originally from the southwestern Virginia, Anya’s music is steeped in the tones of the Blue Ridge Mountains and seasoned by travels across the world.
After 10 releases with various bands and collaborations (Tellico, Dehlia Low), Anya is currently releasing singles from her own album on Organic Records. Hinkle won the Merlefest Chris Austin Songwriting Competition in 2019 followed by tours in Japan and France, with performances at MerleFest, La Roche Bluegrass Festival (Europe’s largest) and the North Carolina Folk Festival.
