About Me



Events by Eventful

From San Diego, this Santa Ana, Califorina native has been playing out since 1997. In January of 2006, his self-penned debut ’The Neighbors Are Listening’ was released with a rave review by the San Diego Troubadour newspaper(march 2007 by Chuck Schiele) saying "The songs are fun, simple, smartly written, efficient, and pretty damn catchy, although I think Esther has yet to write his catchiest song...and these are pretty catchy."

Currently, Alex is writing new material for his second album and playing shows in and around San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties.

San Diego Reader Hometown CD Review/Complaint
