Lana Grant, Singer/Songwriter
Discography
Songwriting to me is a story needing to be told and feelings that need to be expressed, along with a voice that longs to sing about it. I invite you to have a listen…

A Blood Sweat and Tears Project that digs deep into the spirit, finds the light in the dark, a helping hand when you trip and a shoulder to cry on when there is nothing to do but accept the journey.These 10 songs are a collection co-written by Lana and her career long music partner, Chris Iannetti (who also produced this CD). Lana has always been a story teller with her Music...she reveals more than ever in this disc the process that leads her to such depth of understanding, sometimes even when the person telling her the story hasn't verbalized their entire range of thoughts & emotions behind it...through a great gift - those unspoken truths are the ones Lana often hears the loudest. This CD will be a journey...allow yourself to take it in, savour the moments, the lessons, the clarity it is offering. Well worth the investment!
"Thank you for your support in helping to keep these stories coming" ~ Lana…

Hovering Above
Hovering Above was completed in 2003 and officially launched in 2004. Many of these songs represent a very personal time of healing after my parent’s difficult divorce. Also showcased is a song I wrote based on the true story of the much too early passing of a 2 year old child. This CD was/is a project I’m extremely proud of. I urge you to listen…I promise there is story in here that will fit your life.

Tired of Talking
Tired of Talkin’ was released in 1999. This CD was my first completely original CD. Chris Iannetti and I co-wrote all the songs. It was an eclectic mix of songs that took place over a time when I was struggling to discover who I was and where life was meant to bring me. From this CD two singles were released nationally (Pieces and Tired of Talkin’). “Pieces” was a chart toping success story and it brought me a lot of, very appreciated, media and fan attention. Another standout song to me is “Daddy”; it’s about the disappointment I faced with my dad as the rawness of my parent’s separation caused me some painful reflections and anger. To this day, though healed from that situation, I still think it’s one of my most powerful songs.

Lana Grant
Lana Grant, Self-titled, was released in 1996. I considers this my “getting my feet wet” CD. Though I didn’t write the songs on this CD, the production of it broke me into the industry and led me to create two other terrific original CD offerings, plus another one on the way. This CD was the real beginning of my journey into the professional music industry and though my style has evolved since this CD, this was an important stepping stone to my future and continued success.
