NASHVILLE, TN — Rounder Records is proud to announce the signing of alt-folk artist Anna Graves. Today, she releases her new single, “Burn On,” marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her musical journey. Listen HERE.
Raised on a farm in southern Minnesota, Anna Graves left home chasing big dreams and bright lights, only to return years later to rediscover the mystical magic that first sparked her songwriting. Her sound blends cinematic pop melodies with folk intimacy, where vulnerability transforms into power, and heartbreak alchemizes into healing.
“I wrote ‘Burn On’ when I was sixteen and found it again a decade later on my mom’s computer,” says Graves. “It feels like opening a time capsule of my younger self when I was full of wild imagination, freedom, and wonder. Re-recording it now reminds me that the spark of youth still lives inside all of us.”
With over 25 million global streams and syncs in the Golden Globe-nominated series Nobody Wants This, as well as Brilliant Minds and Chicken Sisters, Graves has built a devoted following through authentic connection rather than traditional industry machinery. Her most recent single, “Hollow Bones,” organically grew to 811k streams driven entirely by fan passion, with 47k+ TikTok creations across her catalog (156.6M+ views) sparking organic trends across WitchTok and home aesthetic communities. The track resonated so deeply that Shaboozey selected it as one of his five favorite songs for Harper’s Bazaar. Graves is managed by Simon Tikhman and Chief Zaruk at The Core Entertainment.
Gary Paczosa, SVP A&R at Rounder Records says, “As an A&R person who’s always on the hunt for something genuine and unforced, every once in a while, you come across an artist who completely stops you in your tracks. That’s Anna Graves, the kind of artist who reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Her voice is effortless — haunting and beautiful — and her songs feel lived-in and true. I’m in awe of her talent and we’re thrilled to have her as a part of the Rounder roster.”
She’s opened for legends like Stevie Nicks, The Head and the Heart, and Maren Morris, bringing her intimate acoustic storytelling to stages across North America. Now signed to Rounder Records, Graves returns with “Burn On,” a song she first wrote in high school, rediscovered on an old computer, and reimagined with producer Davis Naish. The result is a haunting anthem of rediscovery that feels both ancient and urgent, grounded in Minnesota soil but reaching toward something universal.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed with Rounder Records, a label whose legacy and artists – from Alison Krauss to Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings, and Indigo Girls – have deeply inspired me,” says Graves. “Joining a home that values authenticity and storytelling means the world to me. I’m in the process of working on my next album and can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all.”
Where folk music meets mystical storytelling, where farm life intersects with literary fantasy that’s where you’ll find Anna Graves, singing songs for the haunted and the hopeful.
