LIVE MUSIC: Alex Guthrie, winner of Cobb Idol, performs at JUMP KITCHEN, WOODSTOCK

"[Alex's] raw, soulful voice and his rootsy, garage blues style guitar are moving and powerful. Keep an eye on this kid, he may be Atlanta's next up-and-comer." - North Atlanta Music Guide

“An old soul.”
Alex Guthrie may only be 20 years old, but when his honey-rich voice bathes you with his life-earned lyrics, you’ll say what everyone does … “he’s an old soul.” Like a fine whiskey that starts rough and raw, but mellows to smooth, complex flavors, his voice builds from his toes - pure feeling - then rumbles through his chest, tempered by heart and emotion. The tone is clear and strong, but with grit and guts too – a great mahogany board polished smooth as glass, but still the grain is strong, swirling and proud. Each layer of growth representing both the beauty and strength that makes it special.

With influences including Otis Redding, Van Morrison, Marc Broussard, and Ray LaMontagne, Alex’s genre goes by different names to different people. Folk-Rock, Blues, or Americana; the listener’s preference is likely to influence his or her categorization. What they all agree on, though, is that it’s great music … or as Alex sometimes says with a broad, sideways grin, Great Folk’in Music.
