Aline Deanna
Canada
Aline aims to capture the present moment with poeticism and humor all wrapped up in a bow of timeless country melodies. She is original and cunning in her songwriting and lends a nod to ever inspiring songwriters such as John Hartford and Lucinda Williams. Drawing you in with her candid lyrics she can tell an entire story in one sentence with her unique voice. Inspired by the likes of Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch the spirit of old time country/western music rings loud in her singing and songwriting and is uplifted with a modern dose of Americana. Aline is currently funded by the Canada Council for the Arts for a songwriting project inspired by research & interviews concerning her Doukhobor heritage. She is weaving songs from this rich Canadian history that has long been neglected and overlooked. Aline also heads her project "Rumour Mill" and tours frequently with renowned Canadian songwriter Maddie Storvold as a fiddle player and backup singer.
