About Me

DEUTSCH:
Alex Lex ist ein Newcomer in der Blues-Szene. Doch er ist heute einer der wenigen jungen Musiker weltweit, welche die Kunst des Blues-Drummings mit all ihrer Tradition begreifen und beherrschen. Sein minimalistisches und stilvolles Spiel lässt eine direkte Verbindung zu alten Meistern, wie Fred Below, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith und Clifton James erkennen. Alex wurde als Schlagzeuger bereits von Musikern, wie Angela Brown, Matt Walsh, Chris Rannenberg, Guitar Crusher, und Keith Dunn verpflichtet. Wenn man dann noch hinzufügt, dass er mit dem legendären Billy Boy Arnold (u.a. "I'm A Man" & "I Wish You Would") aufgenommen hat, beginnt man ein Bild davon zu bekommen, welches Level an Engagement und Intensität Alex an das Schlagzeug bringt.

Alex Lex is a newcomer on the Blues-scene. He is one of the few young musicians today, world-wide, who embrasses the art of Blues-drumming with all of it’s tradition. His minimalistic and tasteful playing is a direct link to the old masters Fred Below, Willie „Big Eyes“ Smith and Cilfton James, among others. Alex has been sought out to play with musicians like Angela Brown, Matt Walsh, Chris Rannenberg, Guitar Crusher, and Keith Dunn. When you add to this that he has also recorded with the legendary Billy Boy Arnold, of „I'm A Man“ and „I Wish You Would“ fame, then you begin to get a picture of the level of commitment and intensity that Alex brings to the drums.
