   About Alec Gross
Alec’s work has most recently been labeled ‘Cinematic Americana’ for the way he incorporates those elements of popular music, which are both ageless and immediate. With a deep gift for painting dramatic lyrical scenes, Alec’s fluency in folk and traditional idioms is unmistakable as he injects contemporary themes, production, and sensibilities into honest and timeless melodies and song structures, all delivered by his hauntingly vulnerable vocal described as being “so perfectly suited to the times” and “superbly bold”.

Everything you've never wanted to know about Alec Gross:
Alec Gross Promotional Video Redux from George Gross on Vimeo.

"Can't Seem To Sleep" Performed Live on Sirius Satellite Radio

Live with the acoustic band:
"Hey, Hey, Adelaide" Live at Woozyfly.com

"Until You're Mine" Live on Woozyfly.com


Alec composed and performed the jingle for the Bojangles Chicken Ad which aired all over the country:




Alec is excited to releasing his brand-new EP, “Rose Tattoo”. Recorded with MajorWho Media, “Rose Tattoo” evinces Alec’s growth as an artist and his fascination with exploring melodies and song structures that seem ancient, but have an immediate and timeless appeal. Having been featured nationally on television and radio, and bolstered by his rabid touring schedule, Alec's audience continues to grow, attracting devoted music fans hungry for an honest and original voice.

Featured Reviews:
"Blessed with a voice so perfectly suited to the times, Alec Gross has managed to capture the illusive folk/country sound so many other artists would sell their soul to find. Inspired by the likes of The Band and Bob Dylan, Gross creates songs of romance and tenderness, each laden with an unerring honesty that will arouse and amaze. It's the irony of a love for all things past that looks to have given this New York-based singer/songwriter a very promising future.”-Joel Crane of NME, Q, Mojo

“With catchy melodies, smart lyrics and strong instrumental hooks, Gross & Co. have put together a delightful record that will appeal to fans of early Wilco and Whiskeytown without being a carbon copy of either.” – Chris Connelly of DC’s On Tap Magazine

“Alec Gross combines Americana and heartland rock with a strain of folksy gentleness and a knack for melody. Raw honesty is the first and deepest impression that these songs make.” – Jon Sobel of Blogcritics.org

“The songs are classic singer/songwriter pop/rock with honest, heartfelt lyrics, with an added dimension of a country flavor woven throughout.” – Kat Coffin of Themusicedge.com

Thanks for your friendship and supporting my music!

Smooth rock/reggae/funk for the thinking and dancing aficionado. Think of Peter Gabriel jamming and partying with Robbie Robertson, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson in Bob Marley's Hope Road studio.

Hi Alec,
Your presence is requested at Postcrypt Coffeehouse @ Columbia University this Saturday the 28th. I'm playing the 9:30 set. All acoustic, no mics, free popcorn.

Take the 1 train to 116th, enter the campus at 116th & Broadway, and ask for directions to St. Paul's Chapel (Postcrypt is in the basement).

See you there!
Eli
