Add Date: March 4

Artist: Alana Amram & The Rough Gems

Album: Spring River

Label: Kingswood Records

Genre: Troubadour music

Comments: From the promoter, "With a mass of curly hair covering her face, a perennial voice billows from a tall, lanky frame. Alana Amram renders riffs and ballads both distinctive and robust, presenting a new archetype of the female troubadour.

Growing up a second generation struggling musician, Amram has a work ethic like no other. Notorious for her wide array of employment, she writes from a place of experience. Running diamonds, slinging beer, driving vans, painting mansions and teaching kids guitar have made her art and music accessible and conversational."
