Biography

Alex Mitts emits a folk sound similar to such artists as Wilco and The Weakerthans. Hailing from Bakersfield, CA, Alex intends to acquaint himself with surrounding cities in California in order to spread his sound like a harmonious disease.

His 2009 release, “Love and Foolishness” brought him local attention. Songs from the release, such as “Apathy Town,” have been featured on local radio broadcasts, most notably the now defunct “Bakotopia Radio.” In 2011, Alex released a second EP titled “The Learning Curve,” which displayed his talent not only as a songwriter but also as a well-versed multi-instrumentalist.

According to James Moore of yourbandisavirus.com, Alex is “A fresh perspective from a bright, young talent.”

Now Alex's new release, “Apartment Songs,” lends itself to a wide range of audiences with songs suitable for both a full ensemble and/or a more naked setup consisting of a single vocal and guitar. With such songs as “Zombie Baby,” an up-tempo folk-pop tune, Alex will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along at every concert.
