BIOGRAPHY A native of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alex Maryol is one of the region's most promising musicians and songwriters. At 18, Maryol released his debut CD - They Call Me Lefty - and at 19, he was playing an average of five nights a week at the area's most popular bars and clubs. By the age of 20, Alex had played at New Mexico's acclaimed Thirsty Ear Festival along with several of his heroes - Alvin Youngblood Hart, Corey Harris, Kenny Brown, and Cedric Burnside. After his performance, Maryol garnered the attention of the international media, including Austria's Concerto magazine. Maryol, who started playing the guitar when he was seven, got into playing the blues much later. He'd been hearing the likes of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and Johnny Rivers in his father's company growing up, and as a freshman in high school, he discovered the Rolling Stones. As Maryol points out, "Really all modern music - rock, funk, all of it - can be traced back to the blues." Exploring these root musicians - Robert Johnson, R.L. Burnside, Stevie Ray Vaughan - inspired Maryol's own sound - high energy electric blues rock, played in the form of Maryol's original compositions. Alex Maryol's latest album - Make Everything Alright - was released in June 2003. It testifies to his continuing originality - taking the roots of blues and twisting them into a sound all his own - southwest rock, acoustic groove, and pure energy. |
