SHORT BIO FROM 2007's "Take Me Back To The Country" Album
Award-winning songwriter Alex Walsh hones his American roots, rock and
pop sound on his third solo effort "Take Me Back to the Country." Long
a figure on the Bay Area music scene Walsh has appeared at the
Paradise Lounge, The Owl and Monkey, and The Bazaar Café, among many
other venues performing solo and with the bands Q, the Honeysticks,
the Young Blue Bucks, the Apparitions, and the Chocolate Blockhead
Band. Having toured Canada, Paris and Barcelona, he performed at the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. for the "Million Worker March"
and garnered a best-song award at a West Coast Songwriters showcase.
In 2000, Walsh released the lo-fi acoustic recording "Antique Dreams &
Collectible Pleasures" followed with 2003's "Light Another Candle"
which was picked up by Optic Noise for use in film and television.
Informed by the hopes, dreams and reality of true love, Walsh's 2007
independent release "Take Me Back to the Country" takes listeners on a
sonic journey over a landscape of blues, pop, Texas swing, African
Hi-life and psychedelic.
I have some incredible shows coming up. I really hope you can make it out.
