Peter Alexander
Peter Alexander hits a home run with his new band, performing a repertoire of original songsmainly from his new "Promised Land" CDwith some great covers thrown in, like Jimi Hendrix' "Little Wing" (there aren't many guitarists who can pull that one off on a 12-string guitar!). Tom Masucci on drums and Sheldon Bird on bass provide an incredibly tight foundation to support Peter's exciting guitar work and powerful vocals. Johannah Harkness' voice adds a pleasing blend as the band breaks into four part harmonies, and comes through strong and clear when she sings lead. From hard driving rock and roll like "I've got a Secret" and "I'll Just Fade Away" to moving ballads like "Dreaming" and "Vicksburg" this band will make you a part of a memorable musical journey. You can get a taste of their live performance at www.peteralexander.us.
