Alane Brown is a singer-songwriter. She performs concerts and teaches workshops about pagan music.
Alane has recorded and performed with the pagan choir Crow Women for many years. During the early stages of the pandemic, Alane used her time in isolation as a kind of writer’s retreat, writing a song every week, as well as many poems and short stories. When Alane emerged from that creative cave, it was like being reborn. She began performing her new store of music as a solo artist, and is having a blast exploring a whole new identity and repertoire.
Some of these new songs, like Calling Down the Moon, are grounded in similar themes as the songs Alane wrote for the Crow Women: aspects of the Goddess, music for magic and ritual, pagan perspectives on life. But many of Alane’s new songs are suitable for a general audience. I’m in the Middle of the Laundry is written from the perspective of a women with 5 children, Look Up Everyone is about getting our faces out of our cell phones and making meaningful connections, and Driving the Snowplow is a lighthearted tribute to a snowplow driver. These are just a few of many, many new songs for you to discover.
Alane is about halfway though recording her first solo album, which will be called Out of the Nest.
Here on Pagan Song, you can find Alane’s articles about the music she wrote for Crow Women under her byline “Alane Crowomyn“. Her articles about her work as a solo performer are gathered on this page, under the byline “Alane Brown”.
Alane lives in Albuquerque, where she is the director of the Pagan Choir of New Mexico. She has performed as a solo artist at Albuquerque Pagan Pride and at the Untamed festival in Colorado. She performed her new material (as part of the duo Pan Fried) at Pagan Spirit Gathering. She enjoys opening for other artists, and has been the warm up act for S.J. Tucker / Muses on the Road. And, of course, she continues to perform with the Crow Women.
