Opening for Richie Havens, gigging with an up-and-coming Regina Spektor, becoming an “authentic” French Quarter street musician, sharing a Wisconsin farmhouse with a swarm of bees, all while touring the U.S. in an overstuffed Honda Accord—I’ve had many adventures (and misadventures) on the road. Come hear these stories and more as I present Wander & Never Wonder Why at Godfrey Daniels on Saturday, January 21.
The solo performance will feature the songs and stories of my early years as a touring musician, couch surfing from coast to coast, discovering America, and finding my voice as a singer/songwriter. The concert will include readings from my tour blogs about my “colorful, ludicrous past”, and answer pressing questions, such as:
What does the “F” in “WIFI” NOT stand for?
What is the recommended method for fighting bears?
How did the band “Bridal Shower Brawl” get its name?
Where can you throw snowballs in August?
The road is a magical, untamed place. I’ve performed countless concerts, but this will be the first time I’ve blended story and song in this type of format. It’s going to be a really fun and poignant look at a young artist finding adventure on the American road.
Alex Radus Presents Wander & Never Wonder Why Godfrey Daniels Saturday, January 21, 2023 – 8PM
I’m affectionately known for “genre whiplash”. It’s kinda my thing. But I thought it would be fun to create a playlist of just my jazz/swing tunes, along with the artists and songs that have influenced me.
And it being the holidays, I had to kick it off with some seasonal tunes.
Please like and share. I’ll update this monthcasionally…enjoy!
Prayer for Nicolette (feat. Pyrenesia) is available on the new album, Tributaries (Recorded Live at Godfrey Daniels). Streaming everywhere. CDs available at the Alex Radus Music Store.
