Details:
Alex Walsh is challenging sway heavy and brash roots rock that defies replicas. His sound might be a little like Elvis Costello's, T. Rex's, and the Replacment's, but his own arrangements of hooky lyrics makes it lock, stock and barrel uninfringeable. A romantic rambler who relived his Paris musician songwriting experience in San Francisco, he's now fulltime at the Musicians Union Local 6, playing locally. His Bronx Summer of Love birth and move to San Francisco, consequent trailing after his dependably relocating father and experience in suburbs of New York and Mississippi, developed a seasoned playwright and songwriter. West Coast Performer Magazine raved, "Veering expertly between Westerberg styled smart-guy rock and classic Brit-inspired pop, this is the kind of disc that radio programmers should glom right onto. Each of these tracks is well produced and, thanks to a remarkable roster of musicians, rendered eminently listenable." He's not going to take you to yoga camp or church and his attitude like a steel reinforced road weary loop track explains why he's won Best Performance from the WCS and is one of the best songwriter to emerge out of the San Francisco songwriters scene of the 00's at Cafe Du Nord, Tongue & Groove, Red Devil Lounge. His deliberate observant-to-a-fault posture and thump-back stack of tinted tracks about relationships as vivid illistrations of 'been there and loved it' on the most recent "Light Another Candle " are contagious.
