Family History & Bio of Alena

     Many of our most admired performing artists can trace their family tree through music. Alena is no exception. Her Great-Great Grandmother was the personal vocalist for the European Kaiser. Her Great Grandmother was the favorite among soprano soloists in the Philharmonic Choir Of Pennsylvania. Her Grandmother was a Music Director for her local church. Her Mother, Kathleen, somewhat of a musical stray, was mainly imbedded in country music. She performed at grange halls, rodeos, and western festivals.

     Alena’s talent was inherited equally from both sides of her family.

     Her Great Grandfather played concert violin, and also fiddle for the local barn dances and granges. Her Grandfather played in his own country band. Her Father, Thomas, played trombone and sang baritone for school concerts and county fairs---when he wasn’t donning his spurs, cowboy hat, and rodeo riggin’ to follow the trail of the rodeo circuit.

     Alena started singing on stage at the age of 7. She performed at The Country Music Assoc. Western Hall, in Banks, Oregon for her first experience. It has been a whirlwind of performances since then and Alena has sung for many different venues in many different locations for MANY different people.

     Here are some examples:
     Dance Halls, Town Halls, Night Clubs, Bars, Fairs, Rodeo’s, Conventions, Showcases, Local, Regional, & National Contests, Casino’s, Benefits, Foundations, Senior Facility’s, Lodges, Concerts, Theatre’s, Wedding’s, Anniversaries, Funerals, Bar-B-Ques, And Special Occasions.

     Alena has performed virtually everywhere music can enhance an event. Alena has also had one of her original songs played on the radio internationally only, called “Willing Heart”. It’s a tune with pop flavor and country soul. It was quite popular and played regularly for one year, from 1995 through 1996 on the airwaves overseas.

     Alena also managed, booked, and promoted her own band all thru the 90’s. It was called “Alena & Pacific Country”. She learned enough to make a pretty big noise and had the pleasure of opening up for several country music stars at “The Oregon Jamboree”. Now, with over 20 years under her belt, her vocals are maturing into an amazing powerhouse that can lift you or move you. Rock you or sooth you.

     Alena sings with every fiber of her being on her serious songs, then lets her hair down with some playful yodeling, good ole’ cowgirl songs. Her style resembles that of Patsy Cline, Wynonna, & Cher molded into one. She has the ability to sing a ballad that can move your soul, then flip and growl to make you whole. Although she really has her own unique style, she definitely has a rich and pitch perfect vocal intonation.

     Alena is poised to perform at all events, venues, musical theatres, and establishments in need of fine music, with all the grace and demand that is expected from a professional.
