 JUST HONORED BY THE JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING AWARDS!!! Lee Alexander is back again and has just released his second CD “Mayhaw Vaudeville.” A quasi-conceptual album, “Mayhaw Vaudeville” is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut album “Out of Place” of 2006. Like previous works, the new album contains the same lyrical depth and poignant wit. “Mayhaw Vaudeville” is saturated with storytelling and a distinctively rustic Texas flavor, while skillfully skirted with contemporary folk pieces as well. Drawing from an influential palette of Harry Nilsson, Patty Griffin, Elvis Costello, and Steve Earle, Alexander’s catchy melodies and razor sharp lyrics have placed him as a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, a the Bugle Boy Songwriting Competition, The Songwriters Serenade Competition, The Independent Music Awards, a regional finalist in the Mountain Stage Newsong Folk Festival, and a semifinalist in the UK Songwriting Contest. Alexander has also been a featured artist in Performing Songwriter Magazine, the 2007 Mardi Gras Festival, the 2006 Summer NAMM Showcase, the 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 Houston Press Music Awards, the 2006 Houston Fair Compilation, and the 2006 Houston International Music Conference and Festival. Alexander also continues to donate a portion of performance proceeds to human rights initiatives through Amnesty International and the Adopt-A-Minefield program. Proceeds from online sales of "Wheel" go to the Lightnin' Hopkins Historical Marker fund. |
