“You
can always tell when somebody really means it. From Bruce Springsteen
to Alana Levandoski. Alana is part of an emerging generation of
new artists who are reflecting the range of influences that make
Canadian music so exciting.” BBC Radio2 presenter
Bob Harris in Maverick magazine.
"With
her disarmingly open, irresistible presence, her 1920s-influenced
fashion sense and her honest songs, Alana Levandoski and her guitar
have hit the roots music scene like a welcome breeze blowing across
the dry and arid prairie. She has certainly helped to put Canada
on the international map when it comes to Americana and country
music." Maverick magazine publisher Alan Cackett.
Alana’s
reputation as a significant international singer/songwriter was
initially bolstered by her debut album "Unsettled Down"
released by Rounder Records in Canada in 2005 and in Europe in 2006.
In
Canada, Alana has toured nationally with the Corb Lund Band as well
as did dates with Stephen Fearing, Randy Bachman, the Arrogant Worms,
and Tanya Tucker. She first performed in the UK and Europe in early
2006 with Dar Williams, Lynn Miles and Caroline Herring as well
with Jess Klein. She returned to the UK in May, 2006 for opening
for the Elana James Trio, and fellow Canadians Blue Rodeo.
Reviews
of Alana's debut have been plentiful. She has been profiled in the
national Canadian magazines Maclean's and Penguin Eggs as well as
the street papers, the Georgia Strait in Vancouver, and Now magazine
in Toronto.
Alana
is slated to return overseas with dates in Ireland and England in
November 2007 with fellow Canadian Lynn Miles. She is currently
working on her second album.
