Alela Diane
Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster!
Alela Diane grew up in the winding rivers and golden hillsides of Nevada City, California, listening to her parents harmonize bluegrass songs in the kitchen. She began writing her own folky songs at age 19 and has since built one of contemporary folk’s most quietly extraordinary catalogs.
Her beloved breakthrough came with The Pirate’s Gospel, followed by critically acclaimed albums via Rough Trade including the “aesthetically focused, meticulously arranged” To Be Still (2009) and the collaborative Alela Diane & Wild Divine (2011). Consequence praised her “uncanny ability to place herself completely out of musical and historical context – hers is a timeless sound, that of a wayfaring troubadour, which only seems to come a few times a generation.”
Over the years, Diane has continuously evolved. She returned to stark guitar-and-voice arrangements for the intimate About Farewell (2013), explored spacious textures on Cold Moon (2015), and delivered the widely-acclaimed Cusp (2018) – which UNCUT called “insanely beautiful, with the strength and delicacy of spider silk.” Shaped by her near-death experience during childbirth, the album reflects the realization that we are forever “on the cusp” between death and life, heartbreak and euphoria.
Her most recent album, Looking Glass (2022), captured the pandemic era with themes of isolation, climate anxiety, and resilience. Now, with a new album on the horizon, Alela Diane brings her wayfaring troubadour spirit to LantarenVenster for an intimate evening of timeless folk.
This concert is presented by LantarenVenster, Rotown and MOMO Concerts.
