  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. Alanna Fugate...harkens to an earlier folk tradition that many modern balladeers have forgotten, that of Joan Baez and early Dylan. A Virginia native living in Louisville, Fugate seems to have stepped right out of Greenwich Village circa 1965. With guitar picking reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and a gravelly Joplin-esque voice, Fugate rattles off unexpected rhymes naturally and gracefully. .. .. .. .. Alanna Fugate's new album PINK ELEPHANTS is her 4th full length release. Co-produced and engineered by Kevin Ratterman at The Funeral Home in Louisville,KY, proves to be her best release yet. Old time folk circus psycadelia is the major theme for this record, but you'll find it's mixed with flavors of traditional celtic and folk. Longtime band members Jordan Ellis and Owen Reynolds hold this album down with their uncanny rhythm and groove. Ben Sollee makes a remarkable show on cello, adding his signature tone. Other musicians include Scott Moore, Todd Hildreth, Terry Turner, and Amos Hopkins. This album 16 songs strong, collectivly holds ground to a new folk sound for Alanna fugate. *********************************************************** .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ........................ .. ....Hailing from the town of Ewing VA, outside the Cumberland Gap. Where trailblazers such as Daniel Boone and Woodie Guthrie made their mark, it's no surprise that from those mountains a modern day Troubadour was born. ....Pushing the pen in a poetic fashion began around the age of 10. As notebooks and journals started to fill, more of a creative outlet was longed for. Her Father, Alan Fugate, also a musician, bought her 1st guitar at the age of 13. ....Open Mic's, school functions, and living rooms began to fill with this budding songwriters talents. Lucky for her, she never got caught sneaking out of the house during the summers, when she would drive an hour and a half away to play the Open Hoot at the historic Down Home in Johnson City TN. That stage and bar room is where she found her love for live performance. ....Fugate after, moved to Louisville KY, where she now resides. In 2007 before recording her 2nd album 'Lost A Little', she tour managed the group, The Sparrow Quartet, which features Abigail Washburn, Ben Sollee, Casey Dreissen, and Bela Fleck. With this experience at hand, She went in the studio to record 'Lost A Little' (released February 2009) and began extensively self-promoting and touring on her own in the south and northeast. ....Now 12 years after picking up the guitar for the 1st time, Fugate at 25, has her own record label, Folkedup Entertainment, with 3 albums under her belt. ....She's graced the stages and likes of the Exit/In,the Prestigious Blue Bird Cafe (Nashville TN), The Down Home (Johnson City TN), John Gage's KY Home front Radio Show, and the Cover of the Louisville Music News. ....There are many musician's who she's been honored to have played along side or shared a stage. Ben Sollee (who is also featured on her 2nd album 'Lost A Little'), The Duhks, Jimmy Wayne, Rootie Wooten (The Wooten Brothers), Ray Rizzo (Dawn Landes & Days of The New), Jackie Valasquez, Chas Justus (Red Stick Ramblers), Greg Martin (The Kentucky Headhunters), Marco Benevento, Todd Hildreth (squeeze-bot), Songwriter Mickie Clark, Kristen Andreassen (Uncle Earl), Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, and Louisville's Great Tim Krekel. ....Every Tuesday you can find this Acoustic and Tenor Guitarist propped electrically against her Fender Vi bro-champ and SWR strawberry Blond at the HideAway Saloon in Louisville KY, where she draws crowds weekly. ....FOR BOOKING: If you are a venue or festival that would like to have Alanna Fugate & The Yarn Novels, please send all booking inquiries to: folkedup@hotmail.com www.folkedupentertainment.com .. .. .. .. ....This profile was edited with ..MySpace Profile Editor......MySpace....Profile Editor.... ..Header Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
