Shane Alexander - A Life Like Ours (2019)

Known for his intimate tenor, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, and moody melodies, LA-based indie Shane Alexander has quietly made a name for himself with millions of Spotify streams, an extensive touring history in the US and Europe as both a headliner and as support for acts like Bon Iver, Suzanne Vega, Jewel, Seal and Yes, and dozens of film and TV credits featuring his alternative Americana. The new album, mixed by Grammy-winner Brian Yaskulka, follows the critically acclaimed Bliss and marks Alexander's second production at Buddhaland Studios. Returning from his previous release is Jesse Siebenberg (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Lady Gaga) on lapsteel, guitar and percussion. The album also features Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings) on bass, LA-ace Carl Byron on piano, accordion and keys and Austin Beede (Grateful Shred) on drums. The productions range from stirring solo acoustic pieces to lush full-band rockers.
