While making this record, I was listening to: The Beatles, Radiohead, Wilco, XTC, Paul Simon, Rufus Wainwright, Sondre Lerche, Beck, Sigur Ros, Gomez, Joni Mitchell, Squeeze, Steely Dan, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Little Feat, The Meters, Robbie Fulks, Bob Dylan, DerekTrucks, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck, Elvis Costello, Sufjan Stevens...
I live and work in NYC and beyond, playing as much original music as time and money will allow, otherwise playing lots of Broadway shows.
Beauty, Grazing at the Trough, my new record, is now available at cdbaby.com/alecberlin2, amazon.com, and the iTunes music store. You can sample all of the songs, and while you're there, leave a review!
My interview on IMC Radio's Byrd Talk show from March 10 can be heard here. Be careful - it's a 28 mb audio file!
I've been inundating various radio stations - terrestrial and otherwise - with "Beauty, Grazing at the Trough", desperately trying to convince them to play my music. So far, the brave ones include:
These are all great music resources run by people dedicated to bringing independent music (such as yours truly) to a wider audience. They are, therefore, deserving of enormous amounts of appreciation, support, and a comfortable first-class berth in the ol'Karma Train. Drop by, say "hello", and ask 'em to play one of my tunes, how 'bout?
The new album 'Coolgilly and the Freakshow' from Centascope is now available worldwide from CD Baby and directly from the merchandise page of the official website.
You can also get the album from Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon and many more.
Claire and I have returned from our 3 month EU& UK tour. So, I just posted a note about what's going on with The Bowmans on facebook... and then I started writing a mass email... and then I decided against it... so I'm doing this instead.

We have a sneak preview of the new album (Produced by Malcolm Burn, Mastered by Greg Calbi) up for 5 days only… and it can be bought within the next 5 days only!
