Alana Flowers Show
Alana Flowers Podcast
Alana was born in sunny southern California (hence her sunny disposition), but proudly declares herself to be a Southern girl. Bluegrass and classic country music are two of her main passions. She plays the banjo and guitar and sings lead for The Flowers Family Band, and takes her inspiration from Donnie Little, who taught her how to play. Her debut on WBT was on the Keith Larson Show, performing on “Banjo Fridays”. Alana also loves politics and studying current events, and is a political science major at Belmont Abbey College. Alana gives credit to her Savior, Jesus Christ, for the many opportunities with which He has blessed her. She hopes to touch peoples' lives in the way that He has touched hers. Alana is very thankful to the WBT family for making her a part of its great heritage. She feels she is part of history in the making. And now she IS a part of WBT history as she is the newest member of the world famous WBT Briarhoppers! Click here to Email Alana Check out her page at Banjo Hangout
