Alana Levandoski is a song and chant writer. They had a career in the alt-country/progressive roots genre for ten years, touring the world with guitar in hand, influenced by the great songwriters and roots writers (and touring with many of them.) The music they make now is congruent with who they are as a spiritual seeker, rooted, but certainly not root bound, in the contemplative Christian tradition. Their journey has taken them many places… but they are especially grateful to the desert, to the Hebrides and the Highlands of Scotland, to Snowdonia, Wales, to New Mexico, and to the land of the Anishinaabe people, that they inhabit here, on Treaty 2 Territory in Manitoba, Canada. It is a great hope for them, that their work mirrors others, that it resonates, and that it serves, and that it is challenging enough to bring life. Above all, they hope it brings great Love and Longing to your journey. To be clear, they are not a “devotional”, nor are they a “praise and worship”, songwriter although you may discover a refreshing recapitulation to your relationship with devotion, if you spend time with the music. In this work sometimes you will find the repetition of chant, you will find justice, and prophetic outcries, and you will find simply their attempt at crafting the best songs they can. In this work is their own journey, reconciling with their Christian tradition, and continuing through and back toward their Celtic and Slavic roots, in hot pursuit of ancient stories, and what they choose to call “the great Christ mystery” that incarnates all things. You will find unashamed embodiment, and “trickster” energy… toying heavily with methods used before by the poets and mystics that would get them into fantastic trouble. Here is an example of a song of theirs that went viral on facebook over New Years: AlanaLevandoski.com
