Alana Amram & The Rough Gems

Singing, stories and songs are the first things I remember. I hit the road at 2 weeks old, touring around America with my musical family. I napped in a guitar case at the foot of the stage. Books about horses, a passion for trespassing, searching for lost caves and ginseng treasures in the upstate New York wilderness fed my curiosoty. I started to keep notebooks chronicling my adventures and tried to turn them into songs. I have opened, sang and played alongside an array of bands and musicians as varied as my musical taste. The short list includes: Pete Seeger, Nels Cline, Peter Rowan, Steve Earle, Abigail Washburn, Tommy Ramone, Judy Collins, The Church, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Langhorne Slim, Danava, Nicole Atkins, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Nikki Lane, Alberta Cross, Anti-Flag, Psychic TV, ? & the Mysterians, Sky Saxon, Odetta, Boss Hog, Mac Demarco, Jenny O, The Chapin Sisters, Daddy Long Legs, Black Oak Arkansas, Cherrie Currie, John McCuen, Janis Ian, Israel Nash Gripka, Deertick, Steve Aoki and many many others. My music has been featured in ads for Stetson, the web series ”The Actress” and in several independent films. I am also a filmmaker, artist, curator and bass player.
