ALANA SWEETWATER

Alana Sweetwater is a songwriter who grew up in the mountains of Tucson, Arizona. She is a dynamic talent with a gift for making a strong connection through her music by giving voice to the human experience in a way that is profound, intense and sometimes quite humorous. It is a beautiful combination of all the right ingredients that make Sweetwater a completely original and deeply compelling artist. It’s almost impossible to articulate what it’s like to see Alana Sweetwater perform — she has the passion and intensity of Janis Joplin, the emotion of Stevie Nicks and the showmanship of Gwen Stefani, plus a little of the rock and roll grit of PJ Harvey. Sweetwater possesses charisma and an uncanny ability to hold the attention of an audience. She is every bit the storyteller — grounded, earthy, raw, vulnerable and wildly entertaining.
