New Jersey-based artist Alex Brumel is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter quickly making a name for himself in historic clubs like CBGB (RIP) and The Stone Pony. A 2007 University of Michigan graduate, he has already shared stages with songwriters such as Dispatch's Pete Francis and Ingrid Michaelson, famed producer Don Dixon, and Grammy-Nominee Duncan Sheik (with whom he worked extensively on developing his Tony Award-winning "anti-musical," SPRING AWAKENING), and co-written material with Ari Hest. Deeply rooted in the folk, rock, and country music traditions, Alex writes music for fans of all styles of folk, rock, country, and pop music.
Alex plans to release the follow-up to his self-titled 2006 debut, entitled "To Bring You Home," on Glenwild Records in Fall 2008. The record, which Alex co-produced with drummer/percussionist Eric Novod, will feature 11 brand-new songs and 1 brand-new arrangement of an old favorite. Stay tuned to this page for more release info in the coming months!
Alex is also half of the acoustic folk duo The Mill Stone, his collaboration with singer/songwriter Janel Elizabeth. The Mill Stone's debut full-length album is due for a Fall 2008 release on Glenwild Records. For more information, please visit myspace.com/themillstonepage.

Hey Alex, First of all my apologies for my late response. You question "where do my listeners live" did stick in my head. To answer your question, most of my listeners will be in Europe. As I am not entirely sure myself, you started a thought process and I am working on something special. When you have the time, please visit the website www. BarkingMaddy. com and find out what your question had as a result. Cheerio, ALF
It's my birthday party and a car rally all rolled into one, with a cash prize that could go into the thousands! You have to register in advance, though, so go to CarRally. EricGinsberg. com to get more info and register your team!
