Lana Hawkins Jazz Quartet - Beyond The Rainbow (2007)

Lana Hawkins has been singing many genres of music for most of her life, ranging from a portrayal of Patsy Cline in live theatrical productions to lounge acts featuring jazz, pop and blues standards and classics. Her latest album by The Lana Hawkins Jazz Quartet, "Beyond the Rainbow," is a dedication to her younger brother who passed away in January 2007. "Over the Rainbow," the last track on the album is a touching acoustic version guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye.
The musicians who performed on this album are Lana Hawkins: Vocals, Steve Kamerling: jazz guitar and vocals, Denis Shebhukov: acoustic and electric bass guitar, Aaron Tully: acoustic and electric bass guitar, Keith Hall: percussion and drums.
Lana's pure, soulful voice is perfect for the song selection on this album as she uses excellent control of style with tons of passion in her voice. She has been compared to Diana Krall, Eva Cassidy and Patsy Cline.
She currently resides in Michigan and performs regularly with her quartet locally and regionally. She is looking to expand her fan base and venues to nationally as well as internationally.
