Today’s Volt SpecialAlana Davis and Friends! If you missed seeing Alana perform at JazzHaven here is a mini-recap. Alana shined playing solo and accompanied pieces with Janice Ballard on keyboard, Paul Cater Deaton on drums, Drew Bowers and Kiyalyn Bump singing, Isis Collier on violin and John Cahill on classical keyboard. Alana is an upcoming young talented musician. She has a fresh and soothing style; you can easily be whisked away by her amazing skill on violin. Alana planned everything from music selection to calling each musician and putting this band together. Yacht Haven was impressed with the turnout of people and of course by this 14 year old’s amazing talent at Suzuki Violin. Kudos Alana for inspiring many young and old musicians out there! Alana continues to offer her wonderful talent for many charitable events. This past Saturday she played for Arts Alive to help them raise funds.
VIMSIA friends, students, staff, and parents came out to support Alana!
