Aniwa
Liner notes
A midwest folk song with vocals about the quiet village of Aniwa, where U.S. Route 45 cuts through the heart of Shawano County. The lyrics reflect on the generations resting in the Bohemian Cemetery and the enduring presence of St. John's Church. It captures the spirit of a small Wisconsin community holding onto its deep rural roots.
