FACE THE WIND – ALBUM LAUNCH with special guests

Songwriter and guitarist John Alexander will be showcasing his latest instalment of dustbowl blues with the release of his new album ‘FACE THE WIND’.

Face The Wind was produced by Boo Hewerdine and record and mixed at Saltwell Studios in Cambridgeshire by Chris Pepper. The album is a collection of life and weather beaten tales which will be performed at the Glad Café with a number of special guest musicians Alexander’s songs have been honed through his solo acoustic performances and formed the basis for live performances that included a successful run of sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with the aptly titled “Dustbowl Blues with a Glasgow Kick”.

His songs have been successful in obtaining placements on the US television shows The Lizzie Borden Chronicles and also the hit Netflix show Longmire as well as placements in cult feature film Tremors. Life in his native country as well as experiences of living overseas and travel form much of the inspiration behind his songs. Alexander’s influences include John Martyn, Greg Brown, Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters which are revealed in his soulful lyrics, strong guitar work and storytelling skills.
