Brad Alexander

About

When young Brad was supposed to be practicing Mozart, he was instead teaching himself to play Billy Joel and Elton John songs by ear. Not much has changed, except now he's armed with over 1000 pop/rock songs from the 60s through today. His dry humor and his uncanny ability to know just what the crowd wants to hear has made him an audience favorite coast to coast.

Brad performs regularly at venues throughout the tri-state area including KEYS TO THE CITY in New Haven, CT. He has also performed at PIANO PIANO in Claremont, CA, THE BEACH HOUSE in Richmond, VA, and legendary NYC piano bars THE DUPLEX, BRANDY'S and DON'T TELL MAMA.

Brad is also an award-winning composer, having written for VH1, Sony and Showtime. His Off-Broadway musical SEE ROCK CITY & OTHER DESTINATIONS won a 2011 Drama Desk Award and his new children's show MARTHA SPEAKS begins its first national tour this fall.
