Alex Walsh's training in American roots, rock and pop came early if informally. Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1967, Walsh moved with his parents to San Francisco before he was a year old. During what would become the historic Summer of Love, Alex's first exposure to live music was the revolutionary sounds of early rock and roll. While his father worked in the grocery industry, his mother took Alex to see the free concerts in Golden Gate Park where what was to become the signature sounds of the times where born.
Alex's auspicious musical beginning was side tracked when the family moved north of San Francisco to Petaluma, more famous for its history as the Chicken Capitol of the World, and host to the World Wrist Wrestling Championship than any cultural movement. Alex's father became a carpenter while his mother stayed home. However, Alex did not forget the formative exposure to the pioneers of rock and roll and psychedelic music. By age three, he was tinkering with the family record player and proceeded to blast music at all hours of the day and night. He quickly became obsessed with music and everything about it, fascinated equally by the artwork on the covers of albums such as the Who's 'Tommy," Tom Jones' 'What's New Pussycat?' and the Beatles 'Revolver" as the music within. His first record purchase, a newly released Beatles collection called 'Rock & Roll Music," was bought with money saved from his allowance. By the time his parent's divorced several years later and his mother remarried, Alex had developed a taste for the heavier music of Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC.
His stepfather's work would take Alex across the country and back several times. A move to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, gave Alex equal parts culture shock and his first exposure to the sounds of the south. Canoeing on the bayou, and swimming and chasing alligators in the harbor, were augmented by Mardi Gras music. By the time he bought his first concert tickets to see The Dixie Dregs, on a return visit to California, he knew it was time to learn the guitar. read more...
