About

Manager: FOCOTHEORY ARTIST MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Bio: "DC-based troubadour Alex Vans creates a unique, shape-shifting blend of rock, folk and pop. His recent self-titled EP is lived in, warm and yet minimalistic, shaped by the hands of a master song-craftsman and high-burnished by the lungs of one of the Capital's most promising young vocalists.

Press

“Eschewing flash for substance, Vans employs spare but impeccable guitar strumming and mature-beyond his years vocal phrasing ... This is a promising singer-songwriter who easily evades the staid and predictable sounds that so many bring to the genre."”

— Mike Coleman, On Tap Magazine

“The tracks span effortlessly between bright pop songs, wrenching and raunchy blues anthems (with harmonicas blaring) and delicately lamenting ballads. The common thread amongst these songs is a bare, exposed arrangement of chords and words that lets your ears know that what they're hearing is utterly honest."”

— Jarrett Blankenship, The Deli Magazine

"Vans’ self-titled debut brings a raw groove and bluesy vocals to bare, a coup d’hendrix, if you will....Its a well rounded offering of catchy licks and lyrics, backed by inspiring guitar playing, clearly well educated and orchestrated. There is plenty of solid listening enjoyment to exact here, and I’d suggest it to just about anyone."

— Ben Aiken, IndieShuffle.com
