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 Stephani, plus a little of the rock and roll grit of PJ Harvey. Sweetwater posses a charisma, an uncanny ability to hold the attention of an audience. She is every bit the story teller, grounded, earthy , raw, vulnerable, and wildly entertaining. The home where Alana grew up was converted into a commune of sorts, with a constant stream of wayward travelers coming and going. She was raised surrounded by shamans, Hippies, gypsies and Native Americans, which helped to enrich the fertile ground for Alana’s budding creativity. At twelve years old, she received her first guitar and found it to be the perfect vehicle to help her write songs. By the time she was 16, she had formed her first band, written over 100 songs and was performing at local venues. She recorded her first album entitled, “Hope for the Living,” and started playing all around the country in venues like, The House of Blue
