I’m Kurt Reifler and I refuse to have a bio in the third person to make myself seem more important. I recently ditched normality, and took to life on the road, once again. My travels over the next year will take me to Europe, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and more.
My goal: To write and record my new album.
I am pleased to be making this new 2010 album with my longtime friend and band mate, Justin Stoddard. I am requesting your help, too, as the music landscape has changed and songs are decidedly not property anymore, as we all know. Rather, they are a free medium to be enjoyed by everyone. Since we will be releasing a free digital version of the album, we are accepting (and in less modest moments, soliciting) your help. The “chip in” function can be found on the right side of this web site.
A little about me:
I grew up around electric guitars and black American music for as long as I can remember. After years of drumming with bands, and ultimately becoming a songwriter, singer and (debatably) guitarist, I have toured the bulk of the last few years under my own name, as a solo guy. Most recently, I performed on my “48 in 08 Tour,” in which I played each continental state within a year.
Yup, that’s me. Feel free to drop me a line. I appreciate you being here…
Hi! I've just uploaded some new songs "no title" , "todays doll" and "no chorus". I also made a video for the first one. Please, tell me what you think about them. Have a great day or evening or goodnight. Thanks. Alexis

I think we will have to extend the trip a little bit next time and come check out one of you shows. I'll let you know if we make solid plans. Take care and keep on rockin!!
