Biography
It is oddly satisfying to gleefully tap your foot while listening to the songs of Alex Sweeton. Oddly satisfying because these are not happy songs. These are the stories you've lived, won't readily admit to and really, really hope no one ever finds out about. Reminiscent of Shawn Colvin, Liz Phair and the Pierces, Sweeton's music is at once vulnerable and ballsy, creating an easy, unusual blend of very dark lyrics with music that remains firmly grounded in the pop style.
Sweeton, who is based in New York, has spent the past ten years touring Europe and North America singing both her own material and others' modern and jazz music. An experienced performer, she commands the stage while always keeping an intimate connection with her audience.
Driving. Bitter. Longing. Beautiful. With her strong lyrics and soulful voice, Sweeton will break your heart and heal it... and leave you longing for more.
