Alana Springsteen

Alana Springsteen is an American country music singer and songwriter. She gained fame in 2023 after releasing her first full-length album, Twenty Something.

Early life Springsteen grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with her parents and three younger brothers, where she started making music at an early age. She started playing guitar at age 7 and wrote her first song, called "Fairy Tale", at age 9. When Springsteen was 10 years old, her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to support her music career, and there she secured a publishing deal at age 14. Some of her early performances were at minor league baseball games. Springsteen has said that both her grandfathers were pastors. Despite having the same surname, Springsteen is not related to musician Bruce Springsteen.

Career

In 2019, Springsteen released her debut EP Slow Down with a single of the same name. Robin Hilton of NPR called the title track of Twenty Something "a deeply moving coming-of-age song that left a lot of us at the office in tears." Other NPR critics wrote that the album "focused on illuminating, owning and pushing through the tangled mesh of emotions of that time with piercing detail — the self-doubt, the friendships that come and go, the ways we navigate a mountain of new responsibilities, and so much more."

In July 2024, Springsteen released a collaboration with Dutch DJ Tiësto called "Hot Honey", which went to the number-one position on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. Springsteen toured in 2024 as an opening act for Luke Bryan's Mind of a Country Boy tour. While touring in October 2024, Springsteen's tour bus caught fire, destroying musical gear and personal items. This forced Springsteen to cancel tour dates in Texas before returning to performing.

Springsteen sang the national anthem a capella at the Major League Baseball "Field of Dreams" game in Dyersville, Iowa on August 13, 2026.

Reception People named Springsteen on their "2024 Ones to Watch" list of musicians. In discussing Springsteen, music critics at NPR wrote that "few artists dissect and make sense of life in your 20s quite like Alana Springsteen" and that she "pulls off a deep understanding of human nature with surprising detail — and without falling back on any of the typical tropes you might expect in country music."
