Alex Woodard's Self-Titled Release Features Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins,
Fountains Of Wayne Drummer Brian Young
"...raspy, quavering vocals and a penchant for catchy folk-rock"

When asked how a California surfer could write an album that sounds like
it's rooted in the middle of America, singer/songwriter Alex Woodard
blames his own love of storytelling. "Stories don't care where you're
from," Woodard explained. "They're universal." And it's his narratives
about the dreams, loss, love, and struggles that go hand and hand with
the journey through life that comprise Woodard's self-titled release,
out August 19th on Woodshack/Adrenaline Music Group.
Woodard has drawn comparisons to Tom Petty,
Bruce Springsteen,
Bob
Dylan, and John Mellencamp for his earnest vocal delivery and
story-driven songwriting. The album's first single "Beautiful Now" is a
thoughtful, upbeat ode to the beauty of motherhood. The video -- shot by
CMT Director of the Year Roman White (Carrie Underwood,
Kelly
Clarkson)-- features former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres and her two
children with Marc Anthony as well as several other moms and children.
Sara Watkins from Grammy-wining Nickel Creek lends her vocals and fiddle
to "Reno" while Brian Young (Fountains of Wayne, the Posies) mans the
drums.
No stranger to show business, Woodard was an after-school childhood
actor with recurring roles on the Love Boat and Battlestar Gallactica
who found time to teach himself piano and guitar during high school.
After graduating from UCLA, Woodard spent time in the world of finance
before before music called louder then numbers.
