The cowboy hat and the beard. The sunglasses and boots. When you first see Alex Whalen in person, you might make some assumptions about his musical style. But it's the voice that is unforgettable. A powerful voice that can growl through a classic rock cover or convey the heartbreak of a legendary country song that landed him on Team Blake on NBC's THE VOICE in 2023. Crowds might be surprised by his eclectic range, especially when he deftly incorporates a ballad by Frank Sinatra, but they are even more so when he speaks into the microphone with an accent some mistake as Austrialian. But this London native is now a naturalized U.S. citizen and calls the Gulf Coast of Florida home. With guitar skills to match his incredible voice, Alex is building a base of fans who love his version of their favorite songs as well as his authentic original music.
From Elvis to Willie Nelson, from Slash to Neil Diamond, there is no specific type of music that I like. I like real music, and don't like being pigeon-holed. You might call my style genre-fluid, because you'll hear everything from country to jazz to metal. My original music from songs like Hotel LaGrange to Vices offer a glimpse of what it's like being a working musician in the social media age.
