Over the course of three EPs, singer-songwriter Alaina Stacey sets out to musically interpret the aesthetics of DAWN, DAY, and DUSK. It is an untraditional approach for a recording project, but one that she hopes reflects the scope of life that these songs cover.  “These are songs that I’ve written over the last decade,” she explains.  “They don’t all make sense on the same album. Instead, I like to imagine them reflecting different sonic and emotional moments in my life.” 

On her upcoming EP, DUSK, which is the final release in the three-part series EP series, Alaina reflects on the regret about what could have been, the uncertainty about choices ahead, and the hope for what tomorrow will bring that can often surface in that darkening hour.

Alaina grew up in a musical family in Chicago and moved to Nashville at 18 where she toured and recorded with Americana group Maybe April.  Now working under her own name, Alaina’s solo work fuses her love of country, Americana, rock, pop, folk, and standards. Recorded and produced by Evan Redwine in Nashville and Brian Deck in Chicago, Stacey’s EP DUSK highlights the uneasy feeling of uncertainty in a new day that can also bring hope of springing out of the paralysis of choice into action. From “Think of You” to “Insomnia,” Alaina is fully awake, hopeful for tomorrow, and happy to get this project out into the world. Read more →
