Born into a military family that moved frequently, Michaela Anne first drew national attention with her 2014 debut Ease My Mind, praised by The New York Times for its “plain-spoken songs of romantic regret and small-town longing.” After a move from Brooklyn to Nashville, she followed with 2016’s Bright Lights and the Fame, earning comparisons in Rolling Stone to Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Her 2019 Yep Roc debut Desert Dove marked a true breakthrough, praised by outlets from Billboard and USA Today to Rolling Stone and NPR—who called its lead single “one of those moody, breathtaking, stop-you-in-your-tracks songs”—and landing her on major festival stages from Bonnaroo to XPoNential. She followed that up with her 2022 release, Oh To Be That Free Again equally acclaimed by press. Paper Magazine named the title track one of the best songs of the year, Holler Country called it "immaculately crafted" and Michaela received further invitations with appearances on NPR's Mountain Stage and World Cafe as well as festivals like Bonnaroo, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Sisters and Folks Fest. 

Her forthcoming album, These Are The Days, is the first full length album of her career she fully owns. No longer willing to be part of a system that denied her ownership of her work, Michaela recorded the album at her home studio—a backyard sanctuary hand-built by her husband, producer Aaron Shafer Haiss, and his father. It marks her debut release on her own label, Georgia June Records.
