A self taught guitarist with a whole load of talent, that’s Alela Diane for you! Her distinct tone and incredible talent on the guitar has taken Diane far in her career, allowing her to release a multitude of music under various labels, and collaborate with some extremely talented musicians.
Her debut album Forest Paradise gave her the opportunity to become heard by many producers and lables, leading to her signing with her first in a string of contracts. Seeing her live, she has come a remarkable distance since this self released album. She’s maintained her roots and doesn’t make her concerts showy or over the top, but the quality of her performance was world class.
She began with tracks from Forest Paradise, and worked her way through to About Farewell. The venue was intimate, and everyone there seemed to be huge fans of hers, singing along to the dulcet tones of her Indie style folk music. She had a great stage presence, and her interaction with the audience was personal, and touching to see that she was so appreciative. I would definitely see her again, a very talented lady.
