BETA Records - Your music matters!

Drawing from an influential palette of Steve Earl, Patty Griffin, and The Beatles, Texas singer-songwriter Lee Alexander offers no apologies on his debut release, "Out of Place". Biting satire is sprinkled throughout the songs, reinforcing the old adage that "art doesn't forgive."

"Out of Place" reveals Alexander's push to mix things up stylistically and use a myriad of acoustic and organic instrumentation to build a good song. His catchy melodies and razor sharp lyrics recently placed him as a Vox Populi Winner in the 2007 Independent Music Awards, a regional finalist in the Mountain Stage Newsong Folk Festival, and a semifinalist in the 2005 UK Songwriting Contest. Alexander has also been a featured artist in Performing Songwriter Magazine's DIY reviews, the 2007 Mardi Gras Festival, the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus 2006 Summer NAMM Showcase, the 2006 & 2007 Houston Press Music Awards showcase, the 2006 Houston Fair Compilation, and the 2006 Houston International Music Conference and Festival, as well as being a featured artist here on Sonicbids.
A conscientious observer, Alexander's songs do not shy away from addressing political issues. He also continues to donate a portion of performance proceeds to human rights initiatives through Amnesty International, The Adopt-A-Minefield program, Project Warchild, and Pacifica Radio.
