Lowana Wallace
Hymns & Carols
Classic Christmas carols made-over with unexpected arrangements and smooth vocals to warm you up like a cup of hot cocoa.
Lowana discovered her deep enjoyment of the music making process at a young age. Between many hours spent in the basement on the old piano at her grandparent's house to having her first song penned at age 14, Lowana has come to know her truest and most honest self between the solitude and companionship found at a piano.
Throughout her teen years, Lowana often found herself at the piano writing very personal songs about worship, faith, doubt, guilt, longing, and love. Her timid voice soon found its way into her church where her experience and confidence slowly grew over the years as both a background and lead vocalist. Wishing to gain further understanding of both music and worship after high school, Lowana left home to study music at Briercrest College in Saskatchewan. During these years, she began to gain a deeper understanding and love for both Christian theology and jazz theory. Lowana's writing began to grow in maturity both lyrically and musically. In 2005, her first album was eagerly received by friends and family across Canada. Since, Lowana has continued to incorporate subtle jazz styles into arrangements of worship songs as well as her own compositions. Carrying a deep emotion that is both sensitive and courageous, Lowana's vocals communicate her desire to show honor to her Lord, Jesus Christ.
Released in December 2008, her latest album entitled Hymns & Carols confidently leads us down an unexpected path of beloved Christmas carols intertwined with classic hymns. The neatly re-packaged arrangements are sometimes comfortably traditional, sometimes freshly quirky, but always respectfully and warmly affectionate.
