Alex Carlin

Alex CARLIN WILL BE PLAYING WITH THE DRUMMER AND BASS PLAYER WHO TOURED THE SOVIET UNION FOR 6 MONTHS WITH HIM IN 1990, and they will play some of those same original songs they performed back then. But mostly they will play Alex's recent compositions, inspired by his over one thousand concerts in the last 13 years, transversing every time zone, latitude and attitude in Russia.The drummer Peter Ffrench's groove is shockingly powerful, especially when paired with bassist Bill MacBeath's relentlessly rhythmic soul, which he perfected in the clubs of Istanbul, southern Mexico and East Oakland. Schatzie Frisch charismatically supplies the vocal harmonies central to Alex's songwriting style which is rooted in the harmonious Lennon/McCartney tradition. Scott Wilson will be a special guest bassist on three songs. Alex will open the evening with a short tribute to Chopin and Rachmaninoff on the piano. Then the classic rock will commence. Since Alex broke the Guinness World Record for Longest Solo Concert - 32 hours - he finds it difficult to end the concerts at a civilized hour, but he promises not to over-extend requests for encores beyond reason. https://www.youtube.com/watchv=unGvP9EnDB8 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unGvP9EnDB8]
