Alan Semenovich
singer/songwriter
After six years of study as a classical violinist, Alan Semenovich replaced the disciplined world of Mozart and Beethoven with a bass guitar and a newly discovered sound called "rock & roll". Following his early days as a bassist for such bands as Blank Expression, Out of the Blue, Hejl and Reign and later Destiny and Sunface, he discovered that his musical heart was in writing and performing his own brand of acoustic rock & roll. Semenovich has touched audiences with his emotionally charged acoustic performances in such venues as The Guilded Otter (New Paltz, NY), Cafe Aurora (Poughkeepsie, NY), The Flo-Jean (Port Jervis, NY), The Black Cow (Croton-On-Hudson, NY), The Annual Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Festival (Burlington, VT) The Muddy Cup (New Paltz), The Underground Lounge (NYC),Club 169 (NYC), 181 Cabrini (NYC),The Red Room (NYC), and has even played a private party for United States Senator Ben "Nighthorse" Campbell in Durango, Colorado.He's shared a stage with Pete Seeger at The Arlington Street Festival in 2003.Additionally, cuts from his 2005 CD - Caravelle Lounge Motel have received airplay on upstate New York radio stations. Notable among Semenovich's writings and performance credits are the theme song to the independent film "Due Diligence" (Living Room Theater productions) and the theme song to the children's show "Witch Way Out?" for Time Warner Cable. As far as bass playing, Alan has played shows for Commander Cody, Dallas Fisher, The Handsome Men,and recently , jazz trio...CPR.Additionally, Semenovich has consistently placed as Favorite Solo Artist in the Hudson Valley in Rhythm & News magazine's annual reader's poll. He was voted Favorite Artist to Keep an Eye Out For in 2002. Alan Semenovich is available as an acoustic act (with or without stand up bass) or as a full piece band which still maintains acoustic flavor. Although still devoted to Mozart and Beethoven, Alan Semenovich's sound, style and performance are in tune with what people are listening to today...he's waiting to hear from you.
