IS BACK ON TOUR!

About Me

I'm Alex Winston, a 20-year-old singer/ guitarist/ songwriter from outside of Detroit. My songs have been featured in many tv shows including One Tree Hill and Dirt. Over the last year I have performed with artists like Chuck Berry, Miranda Lambert, The Wreckers, Kate Voegele, Blind Melon, Electric Six, We Are The Fury, the Satin Peaches and more. A pretty diverse collection I know, and not all of them are musically similar to me, but I like playing shows in front of different audiences. I've also had the chance to meet a lot of great people and sign some really strange body parts. If you happen to be at one of my shows please come and say hello to me. Sometimes I offer free lovin' and kisses, but 99% of the time it's all talk.It's tough for me to categorize my music, but I can tell you that you will probably hear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Some of my biggest influences are The Faces, Sam Cooke, Little Richard and Sheryl Crow. I'd say my music is rock and roll influenced pop, or pop influenced rock and roll… depending on the song.

YOU AND ME!
