Music Style Alternative Country

Artist History The Boston Years: During a five year stretch that began in 1988, Miss Xanna Don't (pronounced Zah-nuh) carried the torch as Boston's original trail-blazing, alternative-country musical act. She won Best Country Act in the Boston Phoenix, 1990, and was a perennial nominee at The Boston Music Awards. In 1992, she was chosen to perform on opening night at Silverado, Boston's first country & western nightclub in over a decade. As a result, she was photographed for the cover of the Boston Sunday Herald Magazine. But it was by establishing herself with spirited performances in rock'n'roll nightclubs, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and other unconventional venues, that Miss Xanna Don't is often credited with bringing the alternative-country genre to Boston audiences. Everything's Big In Texas: In October 1993, Xanna fulfilled a career-long goal and moved to Austin, Texas, where she was soon chosen to represent the city of Austin at the 1994 South by Southwest Music Conference. Since her South by Southwest debut, Miss Xanna Don't has performed at Austin's highest-profile venues, including Liberty Lunch, Emo's, Hole In The Wall, Austin Music Hall, La Zona Rosa, Jovita’s and The Electric Lounge. She was selected and performed for South By Southwest again in 1997. The A-List: Miss Xanna has opened for and performed with some of America's hottest national acts, including: Lucinda Williams, Southern Culture on The Skids, Kentucky Headhunters, Jerry Jeff Walker, Morphine, El Vez, and Devo.
