Aline aims to capture the present moment with poeticism and humor all wrapped up in a bow of timeless country melodies. She is original and cunning in her songwriting and lends a nod to ever inspiring songwriters such as John Hartford and Lucinda Williams. Drawing you in with her candid lyrics she can tell an entire story in one sentence with her unique voice. Inspired by the likes of Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch the spirit of old time country music rings loud in her singing and songwriting and is uplifted with a modern dose of Americana.
Her first LP “Wild Rose & Salt Water” released on September 19th, 2025. Her singles “Doin’ it for Country Music” hit #11 in the Hot Disc Country music chart in the UK and her song “Walk You Home” ranked in the top 100 tracks in the Canadian Indie Country Music Countdown. Her album has been played on CBC, BBC and CKUA as well as 100+ radio stations across North America, Australia and Europe.
