Take the "Alex & the Anders Survey"

About Me

Born in the years 1986 and 1984 respectively, an important set of events were in the making for two soon-to-be musicians. Who would have guessed that two women; one from South Dakota and the other from Denmark would be responsible for making two young men who would later change history as we know it. Alex & the Anders is an original socks rockin', folk singin', blues playin' duet made up of two friends that have been playing together since pacifiers and diapers were hip. They believe "fun" should not be considered a 4-letter-word. Their live set includes their need to use oxymoronic lyrics which may only be trumped by wailing harmonica, unique washboard solos, crowd participation, and their love to throw in your not-so-usual cover song. Single handedly conquering the world they hope to check off one fan at a time, even if it means they must call on the powers of their beloved kazoo. Joined not just by their love of folk, rock, blues, or even the word "krunk", they are joined by the two greatest bonds the world could ever know… Music and friendship.
