Dana and Alden

Brothers Dana and Alden McWayne, along with a troupe of multi-instrumental artists, come together to create jazzy melodies with indie sounds inspired by their unconventional upbringing in Eugene, Oregon.

Their debut album, Quiet Music for Young People, is a lush album that melds vintage sounds with the aesthetic and experience of existing in gen Z and the digital age. Quiet Music For Young People also reminisces of their childhood, summer days spent working at an apple orchard and jamming at jazz clubs on rainy Oregon nights.

Alden, the younger of the two, is a drummer and recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, while Dana, the elder statesmen, is a saxophonist and organic farm inspector in Durham, NC.
