Quay Arts presents Alex Roberts, a musician whose musical compass points to each degree.
It is not his outstanding musicianship that is driving him, but something more subtle. What’s driving this artist is the song.
The timeless nature of Roberts’ musical charm provides the perfect vehicle for expressing his lyrical musings.
In the fashion of the troubadour or bard Roberts crafts stories, love songs, ballads, spiritual insights, or protests into a mesmerising web of song.
However it is on stage that Roberts is best appreciated. A comfortable and engaging performer he is quickly becoming known as an act not to miss and a hard one to follow.
His voice is gentle yet gritty, with a sexy timbre and combines with unique guitar playing to seamlessly traverse genres from baroque to blues, in a host of alternate tunings and with the occasional turn to the lap-steel or lute creating a wistful and tender sound.
If you are inspired by contemporary mellow folk, singer-songwriters, or if you play the guitar and you are yet to experience the joy of Alex Roberts, take this opportunity to see this gifted songwriter’s performance which will not disappoint. “Indeed, each tune is more like a holiday and often leaves you feeling lighter and refreshed as it passes ”
“Think Damien Rice, Nick Drake, and a little Bob Dylan…Roberts’ voice is soothing yet full.” Acoustic Magazine
