Alela Diane was born in the small town of Nevada City, California, where she got a nudge from her friend Joanna Newsom to perform her solo material for the first time. After issuing her debut album, Forest Parade, in 2003, Diane recorded and self-released her followup, 2004’s The Pirate’s Gospel, which was picked up by Holocene Music and reissued in 2006. Since then, Diane has relocated to Portland, signed with Rough Trade and gone on to tour the world, gracing stages with her vibrantly warm voice and the vivid imagery of her songwriting. Her latest record, Alela Diane & Wild Divine, finds the songwriter playing music with her father and her husband in a full band.
