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.
Influences
ALEX 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.

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 Here's the flyer:
