ALEX ROBERTS blends genres from baroque to blues in a host of alternative tunings and with some fine lap-steel playing and stomp-boxing. His style is effortless while his technique is masterful and innovative. But it’s not just outstanding musicianship that drives him; what’s driving this artist is song. The timeless charm of his music is the perfect vehicle for Alex to present his lyrical musings. In the fashion of the troubadour, he crafts stories, love songs, ballads, spirituals, or protests into a mesmerising web of song.
Alex Roberts engages the listener with rapturous allure; the vocal lines ebb and flow around elegant guitar parts and the result is an uplifting and wholesome symbiosis of voice and instrument.
Alex plays bloody wonderfully
- John Renbourn
Think Nick Drake and little Bob Dylan. Alex Roberts is a British folk singer we can be proud of… His songs make for beautiful soundscapes and evoke images of sun drenched wheat fields and warm beaches turning golden by the falling sun… one of this years best kept secrets
- Acoustic Magazine
Each tune is more like a holiday and often leaves you feeling lighter and refreshed as it passes
- The Wedgewood Rooms
Alex’s lyrical flow is of a timeless nature; these are songs that are not bound by fads and fashion, but celebrate the tradition of the folk troubadour from a dreamlike state
– Devils Music
Alex is a guitar player with great feel and a song-writer with a wonderful imagination. His style tips its hat to John Renbourn and Bert Jansch without forgetting the here and now......one of my favourite fireside performers
- Martin Harley
Alex's guitar playing is outstanding
- Bournemouth Folk Club
As soulful as Kelly Joe Phelps
- Seth Lakeman
Alex evokes acoustic beauty and mystery, displaying perfect symmetry between guitar and voice and creating powerful yet delicate melodies with natural grace and sincerity. It was a sheer pleasure to wintness such a phenomenally talented musician. A superb evening full of surprise, intrigue and fantastic music!
