Alela Diane
American singer-songwriter and guitarist Alela Diane is known for her warm and slightly mysterious voice.
Her indie folk ranges from gospel and roots to light psychedelia. Alongside peers like Devendra Banhart, Cocorosie, Fleet Foxes, and Joanna Newsom, she blends sounds from American musical traditions with her own imaginative interpretations.
Alela has been a full-time musician for over 15 years, during which time she has completed multiple extensive tours across Europe and North America.
At the age of nineteen, she self-released her debut album, Forest Parade. Hints of Diane's immense talent were already evident there, but it was the 2006 follow-up, The Pirate’s Gospel, that truly made her name. In 2022, she released her sixth album, entitled Looking Glass.
New music is coming this year, and we will certainly hear it when she performs with her full band in Deventer.
