As an artist who's been writing and performing music for over twenty years—spanning several genres—Seattle-based singer-songwriter, novelist, and poet Alex Rasmussen has finally found a sonic home in his current musical incarnation: a unique blend of folk and rock inspired by life’s highs, lows, and every evasive emotion in between. 

From the stomach-twisting rush of a whirlwind romance to the searing regret of habitual self-sabotage—from the Pacific Northwest to New Orleans, Tennessee to the Texas hill country—each of Alex’s songs is a mile marker along a potholed highway, driven with crossed fingers toward some sense of understanding. 

His 2020-released EP, Make it Real, consists of five songs recorded in Los Angeles by Grammy-winning producer Sheldon Gomberg (Ben Harper, Lucinda Williams). The tracks feature a skilled cast of LA studio musicians, including Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, who contributed violin and vocal harmonies to "Make a Living" and “Back to Nashville.”

The Road LP (2017) contains two tracks ("Ghost in the Dark" and “Waiting”) recorded and mixed by Seattle grunge heavy-hitter, Tad Doyle. 

Alex's novel, Coloring outside the Lines—based on experiences collected while street-performing between Seattle and San Francisco—is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Coloring-Outside-Lines-Alex-Rasmussen/dp/151962 His poetry collection, Inside out, can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Inside-out-Alex-Rasmussen/dp/1790828384/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548871756&sr=8-1&keywords=inside+out+alex+rasmussen
