...have you gotten your ALANA fix today???

About Me

Alana Davis hotly anticipated new album, "Surrender Dorothy", is her third recording since TIME magazine ranked her debut release the "Number 3 Album of the Year". Alana recently turned down seven offers from major labels, independent labels and major independent distributors to instead launch her own company, Tigress Records. With an overwhelming swell of grassroots support combined with allies among some top brass in the music industry, she released her first self produced album in 2005 and is now striving to create a new model for the ever-changing music industry. Have you bought a copy of "Surrender Dorothy" yet? If not, you really should go pick it up, it sounds like no other.
