Alex Lipinski
The first thing that hits you is the voice. Alex Lipinski’s caressing sympathy and full-throated resentment have grabbed unwary listeners from the West Country to Krakow and Berlin to New York, since he first left Somerset to become a crucial habitué of Soho’s legendary, lost, 12-Bar Club. He has followed in the footsteps of his hero Bob Dylan to write in the Chelsea Hotel, and sung Elvis songs in the home of an admiring Liam Gallagher, who is a firm champion.

His last album, the self-titled ‘Alex’ was produced by The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe in Berlin. Hailed by Newcombe as “a young man worth my time and efforts, make no mistake, these songs have all the qualities of timeless music”.

No coincidence then that for ‘For Everything Under the Sun’, his soon to be released third album, Lipinski was sought out by Wolf Alice & Elvis Costello producer Michael Smith who had the same desire as Anton to work with a voice that Rock & Reel magazine describes as “channelling the best tones of Lennon and Orbison and makes them his own”, and songs which BBC Radio 6 legend Tom Robinson declares “sweep you up and carry you along”.

2022 will see Lipinski take to the road with his band The Crown Electric, with a number of UK festivals confirmed, and a special album launch show at The Water Rats in London on 5th May.
