Alex Jimenez

Oakland

A product of the early San Francisco indie music scene, Alex Jimenez has spent the majority of his life creating music to share with his fellow musicians and community. An avid guitar player and singer, Alex is currently focusing on his solo work, a blend of acoustic pop meets gritty blues. In 2001, he wrote his first 5 songs back to back, and subsequently formed the acoustic duo Ms.Quito with artist/performer Allison Hennessey. Shortly after, he independently released his first EP ‘Mosquito Tracks... songs about Love, Loss, and Money’. In 2012, he released his first album ‘The Acoustik Projekt’, with songwriter/conga player Mark Edgar. That same year, his 2 year, fifteen show odyssey, 'The Usual Suspects Songwriter Showcase', became a critical favorite, showcasing some of the Bay Area’s finest talent. His latest EP, ‘Inside’, was recorded and produced by the incomparable Ryan Clark, and he is writing songs for his next full length album. Alex can also be seen moonlighting as Thunderegg's full time rocking bass player.
