alana amore colvin (she/they) is a brooklyn based avant-garde guitarist, composer, and
arranger. Their sound sits somewhere in the balance between soft intimate tones and raw
distorted noise all in celebration of guitar and afro-folkloric traditions. They are compared to
Bill Frisell as often as she is compared to Jimi Hendrix and yet something different all
together.
colvin is a prominent fixture in the NYC downtown music scene. You can catch colvin
playing with Ryan Easter’s Trap Music Orchestra and Selendis Alexander Sebastian
Johnson’s Big Band. In smaller context she is 50% of the improv guitar duo, military kids
(featuring Nathan Chamberlain), 33% of unspecified trio (featuring Connner Simmons &
Sunjay Jayaram), and can often be found on the road with Lemuel Marc, Mali Obomsawin,
and JoVia Armstrong.
