Brianna Lane - "On Rooftops" - Displayed like a paint-by-numbers with lush, vivid colors, Brianna Lane puts her songs on display like a bright spectrum of the rainbow. Moving the canvas from Minneapolis, Minnesota to the steep hills of Asheville, North Carolina, Brianna found much success with her geographic decision. With her debut album tucked under her arm, Brianna took her act to the road and traveled up and down the East coast creating an ever-lasting fan base to her portfolio. Her music is about self-expression, love and heartache presented with rich vocals. I love how Brianna paints a picture with every word in every lyric in her songs. She gives you the moon, the stars and everything in between with her beautiful lyrics and stunning vocals. "On Rooftaps" dazzles with artistic creativity, realistic lyrics and a smooth, soft voice to boot! It's an easy listen, very pleasing and pure folk enjoyment! Listen to this girl as she sings it from the rooftops, her undeniable talent with capture you and leave you wanting more.

Brianna Lane's performance at the Festival took everyone by surprise. She followed the Popular trio, Folk Nouveau who performed two encores for their exuberant fans. Although Brianna seemed shy and hesitant as she came on stage, almost immediately she engaged the crowd with her intriguing personality and energy. By the second song even the most skeptical adults and self absorbed children were listening. As the sun set and the lights were turned on it was clear that Miss Lane, unknown to most of those gathered, had made many new fans. We look forward to her next tour and hope that the schedule will include an evening at the New Deal Cafe.

Bio
This chick puts the word "singer" in singer/songwriter. Brianna grew up in Minnesota so you can blame her sweetness on her roots but this girl has been on the road non-stop for three years so you can hear her experiences in every note she sings. She has a voice and a presence beyond her years and has been described as a sweet blend of Suzanne Vega and Nick Drake or Aimee Mann and Elliot Smith. Brianna strums an acoustic guitar with the same sweetness and power in which she sings. She is currently on the road, trying out new songs, and getting ready to record her third album this winter.
