Gary "Garp" Alexander

A singer/songwriter and a storyteller, Garp writes lyrics that resonate with his audience, much like Dan Fogelberg and Jackson Browne. Combining richly layered guitar and heat felt lyrics, Garp's music speaks to the heart and soul of the listener, By connecting to the audience through song and conversation, Garp feeds the listener a healthy serving of sobering realism and believable fantasy. Now add truly inspired acoustic guitar playing, this music transcends normal boundaries and leaves the fans on their feet screaming for more. More, MORE. Industry executives at Music Row in Nashville have compared to artists ranging from Hootie and the Blowfish to Bob Dylan and Jim Croce. Since he didn't fit into any of Nashville's traditional country "slots", Garp decided to try the down home approach. An acoustic/electric mix of story telling and powerful music as diverse as it is entertaining, this music is enjoyed by people who like rock, pop, ska, country, blues and jazz. "We all have a calling in life, mine is to entertain, that's when I am most alive" and it shows in the warm crowd responses. Touring locally while promoting globally is the plan for now. Garp encourages fans to "take him home with them" (in a virtual sense) via the internet and free MP3 downloads, as well as the more traditional sales of tapes and CDs.
