ALINE DEANNA

Aline aims to capture the present moment with poeticism and humor all wrapped up in a bow of timeless country melodies. She is original and cunning in her songwriting and lends a nod to ever inspiring songwriters such as John Hartford and Lucinda Williams. Drawing you in with her candid lyrics she will tell you a story in one sentence with her unique voice. Inspired by the likes of Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch the spirit of old time country/western music rings loud in her singing and songwriting and is uplifted with a modern dose of americana.
Aline is half French-Canadian half doukhobor, born in the small mountain town of Nelson, British Columbia. Her musical journey started at the ripe age of 7 when she picked up the viola for the first time. She got her first chops studying classical viola through the Suzuki Method, running from rehearsals and lessons to chamber music then orchestra. At 11 years old she was the youngest to sit as first chair Violist for the Edmonton Youth Orchestra.
