Just seen her in Maastricht ( The Netherlands) and it was amazing. It was the 4th time we went to see her, and besides being a great singer she’s so sweet and funny.

[silversheep]

One of my absolute favorite artists of all time. I remember being at Bumbershoot that year and hearing the songs from About Farewell for the first time and they still give me chills a decade later.

[AaronWilson]

Doesn't matter how you find an artist, just matters that you find them and like what they do.

[LiveseyMD]

I listened her a lot when was reading "Song of Ice and Fire" books. Now her songs are forever associated with these books.

[leftfield]

heard her first on the Headless Heroes album. Faultless Performance. Amazing voice, great talent. Absolute perfection.

[NaomiMartin]

I'm so in love with everything about Dry Grass and Shadows. I've been a fan of Alela for years but that song had to grow on me.

[lazydayz]

Saw you at Bottom of the Hill in SF in 2006, bought the paper case Pirate's Gospel. Was looking through some old boxes last week and there you were. It's still my favorite of your's!

[Dorypowa]

i love so much your music Alela ! you are always reassuring me even if your songs are melancolic sometimes, it is beauty

[jez]

I think I discoverd her music on a compilation CD about 2010 and saw her live in 2012. Every autumn/winter on the first cold morning I play White as Diamonds

[MichaelSalmons]

Alela's of the best singer-songwriters working today- in an era that should care a lot more about singer-songwriters. Beautiful music and harrowing stories that reads as poetry.

[jublaim]

I heard her "The way we fall" from a compilation CD and got hooked immediately. She's really making wonderfully intaking songs, I don't know what else to write:-)
Listen also to Diana Jones!

[TheMugfaker]

My god, she is so wonderful. Her voice.... so gorgeous.

[mykliam]

this is what plays in my morning alarm clock, easing me into the day.

[wetnwild]

Seen Her in Bristol UK recently in 2018. I really enjoyed her performance. She is so unusual. Very cool.

[inkedantivirus]

This is perfect, thank you autoplay ^^

[jamesvorel]

Such a beautiful lyricist. I've been a fan of hers for like 5 years now and have never had any chance to see her perform, unfortunately. Seems like she's always in Belgium or France or the West Coast. Central Illinois seems like a longshot.

[ΔήμητραΓυφτου]

Καλό βράδυ από Ελλάδα
Λατρεύω Αλέκα
Παρεμπιπτόντως είμαι άθεη...

[mouthmel]

Really very beautiful, Alela remind me an artist today disappeared, Kate Wolf.

Making Grass Valley proud, do your thing girl!
