ALANA LEVANDOSKI FREE DOWNLOAD TRACKS & UK TOUR
Writes Maverick magazine publisher Alan Cackett: "With her disarmingly open, irresistible presence, her
1920s-influenced fashion sense and her honest songs, Alana Levandoski and her guitar have hit the roots music scene
like a welcome breeze blowing across the dry and arid prairie. She has certainly helped to put Canada on the
international map when it comes to Americana and country music."

In the past year, Alana has rarely had time to unpack her bags from traveling. Following dates in the U.K. in early 2007,
Alana traveled to Toronto, Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Alabama for co-writing sessions, including those with such
American heavyweights as Quinn Loggins, Sam Ashworth, James LeBlanc, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Rachel Thibodeau,
and Gary Nichols. In Canada, she co-wrote with Simon Wilcox as well as with Newfoundland's Sherry Ryan.
Alana contributed "Don't You Remember" from "Unsettled Down" to the UK Americana compilation "Bob Harris Presents."
Legendary BBC Radio 2 DJ Bob Harris has been one of Alana's biggest supporters in the UK.
This compilation captures the essence of the Americana genre with such household names as John Prine, Billy Joe
Shaver, Alison Krauss, and Ray Wylie Hubbard, Patty Griffin along with fellow Canadians Sarah Harmer and Kathleeen
Edwards as well as Tracy Bonham, Slaid Cleaves and Todd Snider.
As well, Alana will be front-and-center this Fall on "Borrowed Tunes 2: A Canadian Tribute to Neil Young" with her
version of Neil's "Don't Be Denied."
Among the other Canadian artists presented on this star-studded 2-CD are: 54-40, Barenaked Ladies, Joel Kroeker,
Dave Gunning, Great Lake Swimmers, Raine Maida, Tom Cochrane, Tom Wilson, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ron Sexsmith,
Liam Titcomb, Jeremy Fisher, Jorane, Matt Mays, and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings.
The original "Borrowed Tunes" in 1994 raised over $250,000 for The Bridge School in California, and Toronto's
Safehaven which both work with handicapped children.
