PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Texas born singer-songwriter Alex J Dunne had already been gigging up and down the country for over a year, before forming Alex & The Ligers in 2007. Starting with some of Alex's solo tunes, the combination of the band to Alex's heartfelt lyrics, began to bring deeper layers to the sound and open up an even broader musical canvas to explore. Having now played for the best part of a year together, the music is constantly being lifted to another level. The striking emotion and honesty of Alex's vocals and lyrics bring to mind the passion of Jeff Buckley, swept along with intuitively matched instrumentation from Andy Stewart (Guitar) and Jo Lee (Drums & Percussion) with other members all contributing to the recording and live performance's (Tom Joseph/Ben Startup) all combining to compliment the sound.
This year the band has been in demand all across the South, culminating in an IndyAward nomination, BBC radio sessions, festival appearances, press accolades and increasingly packed gigs. On top of this, theyre looking to be back in the studio again soon to lay down some more tracks, so watch this space.
