About

Ida began in Brooklyn in 1993, when Daniel Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell started writing and performing songs together as a duo. The band has grown and changed many times since then, but the duo at its core has remained constant. Ida released several albums and EPs on independent labels, including Simple Machines and Polyvinyl. Daniel and Elizabeth have pursued many musical projects outside of Ida. Daniel played guitar in Amy Helm’s band from 2012 to 2025, touring heavily and sharing stages with Levon Helm, Mavis Staples, Phil Lesh and more. Elizabeth has released several Grammy-nominated children’s music albums on Smithsonian Folkways, collaborating with Natalie Merchant and others. Together, they hosted the Kids Stage at the Newport Folk Festival and a series of Kids Rambles at Levon Helm Studios. The full band reunited in 2023 to play the Numero Group Festival in Los Angeles. In 2025, Numero began reissuing Ida’s catalog on vinyl, starting with a box-set edition of their 2000 album, Will You Find Me. To promote the release, Ida went out on the road with Numero label mates Tsunami on the Coin Toss Tour, playing major cities across the US and featuring special musical guests fr
