Greg Alexander - "Sky it Shall Be" I just heard this guy for the first time and I am very glad I did. He sings with a bluesy tinge but in an upbeat optimistic manner. I do hear his stated influences of Clapton, Sexton and the Band in at least one or more songs, but there is also a hint of Dave Matthews as well. It's an original sound. His songs are never too heavy or dark in subject matter but are far from simplistic. He has some neat jazzy twists and consistently excellent accompaniment from local New England musicians. Bottom line-- His music makes me feel good... and it will you as well. That's reason enough to make a purchase. (My personal song favorites were Glad, Leaving Time and Listening To London)

GREG ALEXANDER
______________ Traditional folk catches festival judges' ears "You get back to the originality and that's an artist's greatest gift," said judge Rita Houston, the music director for WFUV-FM. "That single thing that sets you apart." Greg Alexander made all five judges think of pure folk music. They appreciated that he added his own bluesy twist and Houston said that he wrote a song that hadn't been written before. "I got chills a couple of times during the song," said producer Leo Sacks. "He really embodies the folk tradition."
