Morning Call Interview

Three nominations, one big awards weekend!
I’m honored to’ve been nominated for three awards for two different 2014 music awards ceremonies. And they’re both this weekend!
- Lehigh Valley Music Awards (March 8)
- Outstanding Album of 2014 – Jewels & Tinware
- Outstanding Singer/Songwriter of 2014 – Alex Radus
- 93.7 WSTW Homey Awards (March 6)
- Best Male Solo Artist of 2014 – Alex Radus
It’s cliche, but I’m honored just to be nominated. These ceremonies aren’t about individual players; they’re about celebrating the great music in the Lehigh Valley and Philly/Delaware areas. I feel incredibly lucky that there are such vibrant and innovative music scenes in my backyard. And of course, it’s nice to feel the love from time to time too!
Thanks LVMA and Homey Awards – and thanks to all of you for casting your ballots!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
For all you lovers out there…stay little Valentine stay…
My Funny Valentine (Rodgers & Hart). From the album Jewels & Tinware. Performed by the Alex Radus Trio. Dan Manchester on upright bass; Charlie Heim on drums; Produced by Brian Herman and Alex Radus; Mixed by Brian Herman
