Alex has just appeared as a guest artist playing chromatic harmonica on New York bluesman, singer/songwriter, Jimmy Norman's new album. The new album is being produced by ex-pat musician/producer Kerryn Tolhurst.

Whilst Kerryn was visiting for the Adelaide guitar festival, Alex invited Kerryn (a great steal player) to join him on a steel guitar duet for Alex's forthcoming new Hawaiian album.

InfluencesALEX BURNS - solo & trio
Alex's' performances cover the broad range of American string styles from blues and early jazz to Hawaiian steel and originals. He plays resophonic guitars, ukulele and harmonica with deceptive ease, born from years playing the circuit of festivals, pubs and clubs. From hard driving rhythms to laid-back subtlety, his brilliant technique shines through. Added to his outstanding musicianship are his impressive vocals. Hailing from Glasgow known for its hard living and great blues vocalists (Frankie Miller, Maggie Bell, Alexis Korner), his earthy vocals easily adapt from rough and ready blues through to heartfelt gospel. Alex's live shows are an exuberant treat with his wide array of material and engaging, good-humoured manner. His much sought after recordings manage to capture the power of the live show without losing any of the clarity of a studio setting which ensure listeners yearn for more.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Hi Alex,
Firstly, thanks for the friendship!
Secondly, if you fancy a night on the other side of the fence, may I suggest a great gig we've got coming up in the Yarra Valley on Saturday, November 29 featuring Mick Thomas, Spectrum, The Re-Mains and... us!
12 bands in all on two stages - it's going to be a beauty.
Would love to see you there.
Cheers
Dave
