Beauty, Grazing at the Trough

About Me

I live and work in NYC and beyond, playing as much original music as time and money will allow, otherwise playing lots of Broadway shows.
Beauty, Grazing at the Trough, my new record, is now available at cdbaby.com/alecberlin2 , amazon.com , and the iTunes music store . You can sample all of the songs, and while you're there, leave a review!
My song " Goner " was selected for the Open Mic section of NPR's All Songs Considered. Check it out !
I'm the featured performer on the current episode of the Homemade Hit Show - and the topic of discussion on their forums !
My good friends at Insomnia Radio were kind enough to feature me on their New York feed - you can listen here .
My interview on IMC Radio's Byrd Talk show from March 10 can be heard here . Be careful - it's a 28 mb audio file!
I've been inundating various radio stations - terrestrial and otherwise - with "Beauty, Grazing at the Trough", desperately trying to convince them to play my music. So far, the brave ones include:
    Valley Free Radio Roots Rock Radio Multiple Sclerosis Blog Podcast High Orbit Podcast WXOU's Outsight Radio WRLR's JStreet Radio WCVE's The Electric Croude WFDU's Carnival of Song Radio QRM Eclectic Mix WGLS KRVM Off-Beat on WPKN Aycliffe Podcast Writer's Block on WDVX Knoxville, TN WGFR bartycast WBLZ WRIR WAVM Preying Lizard podcast (55 mb) Stomping Ground on WCWP Upper Room with Joe Kelley iRADIOLA New Music & Indie Label Show on 1065.com Fresh Trax, on WBRS Radio QRM Insomnia Radio Cleveland's own WRUW Modern Metro Music Writers Block on WDVX WETD Alfred State College The Chill Pill Show Outsight Radio Hours The Buddy Culver Show RadioMike Show - including an awesome review - "an instant singer songwriter power pop classic"!
