Artists:Brianna Lane

Brianna Lane is a sweet-voiced alterna-folkie who grew up in Minnesota, once found a home in the mountains of North Carolina, but who is truly a restless old soul. You can blame her sweetness on her roots but this girl has been on the road non-stop for several years so you can hear her experiences in every note she sings.

This chick puts the word "singer" in singer/songwriter gains inspiration the books she reads and the people she meets along the way as well as drawing from such famous folkies as Shawn Colvin, Greg Brown, and Elliot Smith. Recently Jim Walsh (City Pages, Minneapolis, MN) wrote that Brianna is “…a star in the making. She's poised, ambitious, a great writer, a soul singer of the first order, and a lithe, accomplished guitarist.” In her years of traveling Lane has shared the stage with Dar Williams, The Weepies, and Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland) as well as sharing dozens of dates with Chris Pureka and many other rising stars of the folk world. Brianna Lane has two self-released albums and another due out in the fall. Her most recent full-length album, “Radiator” has been featured on folk radio stations across the nation as well as on various online communities such as Womenfolk, Minor7th, and FAME as well as QueerPlanet.com and CoffeeHouseTour.com. Lavendar Magazine calls Radiator, “a solid album by an artist worth checking out.”

Brianna has a voice and a presence beyond her years. She strums an acoustic guitar with the same power in which she sings. Brianna is currently touring the nation in an effort to raise funds for a new full-length CD that is due out in the fall of 2007. Like the eleven tracks on “Radiator” (2005) this new collection of songs is introspective, heart-warming, and beautifully rough around the edges much like Lane's outlook on life. "Lane's songs are beautiful and cathartic, almost telling us that it's OK to feel down, but not to let it get us down at the same time.” (Mish-Mash Reviews) She has begun to incorporate her new songs into her stunning live performances and Brianna Lane's new album is much anticipated by all of her fans across the nation..
