Details:
Traveling songwriter Greg Alexander is a combination of new folk & acoustic blues music.

Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Greg found his way to writing music during a year abroad as an exchange student in Paris.

âMy host parents were performers, actors and singers. They gave me a guitar to communicate until I could speak French - that took about six months. By then I was hooked on making music.â

Upon returning home Greg continued writing by borrowing his own motherâs Guild F-20.

âMom was going through her own Richie Havens phase at the time; she never got that guitar back, by the way.â

Greg continues to perform his music and work in the theatre. A graduate of New York City's National Shakespeare Conservatory, he has toured as both an actor & musician with the National Shakespeare Company; Chrysalis Theatre Company of Northampton, Massachusetts; Enchanted Circle Theatre Company of Holyoke Massachusetts; and the Shadowbox Theatre of New York City.

"When theater is in cahoots with music - it's the best, it truly is."
