BIO
For the teen-aged Glenn E. Alexander, growing up in rural Texas, the guitar became an addiction quickly adopted. He took a largely self-taught approach to his craft, pursuing his idea of music with sharply focused curiosity and a whimsical persistence largely unencumbered by mainstream musical ideals. Influenced by a large swath of America's musical history, he explored a mesh of looped composition and improvisation rooted around his Martin acoustic. Homemade recordings of these explorations became the bedrock for Brave Julius, his first foray into collaborative and studio work, which fleshes out his compositions in clever and often startling ways (see The Canyon, 2010).

The live show is often improvisatory, effect & loop-enhanced shoegaze instrumental guitar music, with a strong compositional element that evokes many aspects of the jamband, americana, and indie-rock music scenes around the country. The gigs are always an of-the-moment experience, rooted in years of performing and crafting music for the soundtrack of your life, wherever you may be.

Brave Julius will be out on tour this summer with folk act Luke Redfield.
