About Me

Alex Bell is a 3-piece outfit that walks the line between a late night country-waltz and folk rock. The songs began life as a solo project in random cafes, bars and laundromats, before going into battle with some drums, bass and a sampler. Their music has been described as uniquely crafted and holding a bold soulful warmth. Alex Bell has played at such Brisbane venues as Ric's Bar and will be releasing their debut album later this year.
