Upcoming / News Alela Diane to Play Two Special Shows at Oaks Pioneer Church

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 8:44 AM

Alela Diane has announced that she'll perform two very special shows at the end of the month. She's performing solo and acoustic at the cozy and historic Oaks Pioneer Church in Sellwood. Diane initially announced a single show on Wednesday, February 29 (pffft, that isn't even a real date) but naturally, all 50 tickets promptly sold out so she has just added a second show on Tuesday, February 28. Ryan Francesconi opens the Wednesday show, while Evan Way of the Parson Red Heads will open the Tuesday show.

Diane is in the midst of working on her fourth album, and has already laid some tracks to tape. She'll be playing new songs at these shows; the new record is shaping up to be an intimate, acoustic solo record—as opposed to last year's band effort, Alela Diane & Wild Divine—so the setting for these two special shows is appropriate.

Peep the flyer for the Wednesday show—which affords a glimpse of the church's interior—after the jump.

Oaks Pioneer Church, 455 SE Spokane, Tues Feb 28 & Wed Feb 29, 8 pm, $12, tickets for the Tuesday show go on sale here at 9 am
