ALANNA and ALICIA EGAN BAND.

Alanna and Alicia Egan are identical twin sisters who present original, acoustic songs, blending the genres of jazz, blues and folk. Their performances feature rich, strong sibling harmonies and their poetic,insightful lyrics command a close listen. They appeal to a wide audience, many identifying readily with the themes of their work.

Subtle, imaginative instrumentation is provided by Amy Bennett on viola, violin and piano, and Liam O'Connell on guitar and bass.

The band performs around Melbourne eg. Wesley Anne, Northcote Social Club, The East Brunswick Club,the Artery, Clifton Hill Hotel, The Empress. They have also played the various festivals, including the wonderful Maldon Folk Festival this year,the Port Fairy Folk Festival Fringe, the Basin Music Festival in the Dandenongs and the Darebin Music Feast.

Their independent, debut album, ‘Funny she’s so much like me’, with eleven original tracks was launched to a standing room only audience at the Wesley Anne in Northcote in September 2006. It was a memorable night with a wonderful vibe.

The girls have had considerable recognition for their songwriting. Alanna came runner up in the Darebin Music Feast Songwriting Competition. Both girls have reached the Lawson/Paterson Songwriting Final at the Port Fairy Folk Festival on several occasions and Alicia won the Best New Talent Award there in 1998. They have both been runner up in the Roddy Read Songwriting Award at the Maldon Folk Festival and Alanna had a song in the top ten acoustic section of the Australian Songwriting Awards.

Their new album is now being played on a number of radio stations and was recently the Album of the Week on ABC radio, Central Vic. Recently they were interviewed and played live in the studios of 3CR on Richard Field’s show ‘Local and Live.’

As identical twins, they share a uniquely intuitive, creative partnership. They have a natural musical rapport, harmonizing effortlessly with one another, and they are each other’s chief editors and collaborators.

A recent critic described their work as ‘timeless and delivered from the heart.’
