Alex McMurray - Seth Walker - Grayson Capps... "Song Swap"

Singer, Songwriter, Roots...

Alex McMurray
If Alex McMurrays songwriting seems a bit dour at timesokay, most of the timewell then thats totally intentional. Like Blanche DuBois in Streetcar, he says, "I find sorrow to be quite a beautiful emotion. Loneliness can be nice. And hed know. A New Orleans fixture since the 80s, the guitar slinger is now widely recognized as the embodiment of the downtown New Orleans lifestyle: sketchy bars, cracked sidewalks, fallen-down houses, tattered hearts, broken spirits, discarded chicken bones. Hes often compared to Tom Waites; they both have whiskey-throated voices and share a curious ability to find inspiration in the degenerate, not to mention an obsession with the Ninth Ward. Except McMurray actually lives there.

Seth Walker
The driving delivery and infectious down-home style of Seth Walker's voice and songs resonate with Blues and Roots music.
Although he is heavily influenced by guitar players BB King, T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin to name just a few, Seth also has a great gift for songwriting in the blues idiom. "These songs sound like classic matter of fact, they are!" says Chris Tomlin, Gold Record recording artist. Growing up in rural North Carolina surrounded by a musica, artistic family has lent itself to Seth's natural ability to entertain audiences with his music and the ease with which he performs. W.C. Clark, considered The Godfather of Austin's Blues scene, is featured on Seth's second album Meet Me in the Middle and believes the music is in his blood. "Seth is from a long line of great players and singers. He's rich with soul, a tasteful player and a warrior in the field." Seth has honed his skills for the last ten years in Austin, TX, playing among the best blues musicians in the world. Seth now lives in New Orleans

Grayson Capps
Hailing from South Alabama and spending over a decade in New Orleans, revered singer-songwriter Grayson Capps has found listeners the world over enthralled by his stinging tales of the Southern Gothic. In his own words, he explains: "I write songs which have the voice of dead prophets masquerading as town drunks screaming 'look at us we're pretty, too!'"
