The past few months have been busy for Alana Wilkinson, having performed at a string of high profile shows.<\/p>\n

\n

But with a spot at the Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) next month and the recording of a new album under way, there is plenty more to come from her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Based on the Surf Coast, the folk singer-songwriter has released two singles (“Closer” and “Partner in Crime”) and has been the support act for The Pierce Brothers, Bob Evans, Eddi Reader and Sarah McLeod.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Presently working on her first album, Wilkinson said she is loving the experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“We’ve decided to turn the EP into an album. So, I’ve been in the studio recording a bunch of new songs, and that’s just the best, I really love that side of things. I also get to work with a dear friend of mine who’s producing the album: Hayden Calnin. We just go in<\/div>\n
\n

there and nerd out on sound for hours.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yet Wilkinson says not all work from the album will be studio recorded, as for some songs they decided to work in a less confined environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We went out to a friend’s church and it was great.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wilkinson performed at the QMF last year, and said it was a great experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It was magical. The vibe there is so incredible. There was a bit of a dance party that started at one of my shows, which equal parts hilarious and exhilarating.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wilkinson has been on the road a lot recently, and is playing at the Mullum Music Festival the week before the QMF.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She says she loves the travel, but being from the Surf Coast she also gets a lot of joy from performing around the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s really good to be performing back in Queenscliff and down this way as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’m really looking forward to seeing Claire Bowditch again, because I played with her at a show in winter.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While Wilkinson is certainly on the rise in the music industry, she still maintains her roots, working with her friends and performing locally when she gets the chance.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
