Alaina Stacey - DAY EP (2024)

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Alaina Stacey releases her new EP, DAY, the second EP in her series of three – DAWN, DAY, and DUSK.

Stacey explains, “These are songs that I’ve written over the last decade. 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.”

Originally from Chicago, Stacey grew up surrounded by music. Later, at the age of 18, she relocated to Nashville, where she toured and recorded with country trio Maybe April. Then she decided to add solo work to her resume, developing her distinctive sound, a blend of ‘90s and early ‘000s country with hints of other elements.

Encompassing seven tracks, entry points on the EP include the opener, “I Would,” featuring shimmering guitars and a delicious, creamy flow vaguely reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac infused with country flavors. Stacey’s voice conjures up suggestions of Stevie Nicks, lush and oh-so evocative.
