Alex Bevan has been sharing his voice, guitar, music and stories with audiences for more than forty years. First known as the "Skinny Little Boy" from Cleveland, OH who came to "Chase your 'wimmen' and drink your beer", Alex has made a name for himself throughout the Regional Ohio music scene.

 

Drawing on his deep skill set of imaginative and honest songwriting combined with an agile, improvisational wit that dovetails wonderfully with his flawless guitar singing, Alex never fails to delight and charm audiences no matter what venue.

 

His recordings span the gamut from folk to folk rock to pop to children's educational music. He has won a number of awards for his commercial efforts in radio and television including an Emmy for his score of the "American Promise- Rustbelt Blues" for WKCY. Alex's creative works have also contributed to documentary film scores.

The recent release of "I have no Wings", on Fiddler's Wynde Records (his 21st recording of original music) celebrates the mature vision of a songwriter who connects the dots from "back in the day" to the present with poetry, compassion and a knack for melody unmatched by many in the modern music movement.
