   About Alain de Courtenay
realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools

Alain de Courtenay writes songs rooted in sparse, unaffected, yet altogether powerful poetry. A 25 year-old Chicago native, Alain has exhausted nearly a decade developing this rare and distinctive writing style, consistently producing music that moves, evokes, and inspires. In 2005, Alain joined classically accomplished violinist, TJ Callanta, to help advance his work. Together, they have since cultivated a repertoire of poignant musical compositions, hoping to deepen each song’s lyrical and emotional essences. Over the past 3 years, Alain has performed at many of Chicago’s reputable music venues including The Abbey Pub, The Double Door, and Navy Pier. Most recently, Alain was asked to open for DeVotchKa on their Midwest tour, where performances were held at The Vogue in Indianapolis, First Avenue in Minneapolis, and the Vic Theatre back home in Chicago. Other notable venues Alain has played at include The Whisky A-Go-Go and Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles. Currently, Alain is finishing up writing material for his second album release, in addition to promoting his debut album, "The Pregnant Letter," available for download on Alain de Courtenay - The Pregnant Letter (Australia/New Zealand, Canada, U.K./European Union, and Japan), as well as Napster, GroupieTunes, Amazon mp3, Lala, and Shockhound.

Hey Alain, Im loving Lesser Man. I had ben waiting on it. Loved the Utube also. Never stop writing music for the pure joy of music. Your an inspiration to all of us that hope to make an impact like you have upon us. These songs have gotten me through bad, good, and worse & have even sparked my own musical creations. If you get a chance check out the new tunes, I've ben working on some new stuff and moving in a new direction.

As always much respect Alain. Keep it up. We'll be listening as long as you do.
