Alex Longo PRESENTS: Robin Alan Stephan
ARTIST DESCRIPTION
Solo artist and Army Veteran Alex J Longo brings an eclectic mix of acoustic guitar and rock together with a full and original Americana sound. Alex sings and plays all his own instruments for recording including guitar, drums, bass, piano, and harmonica. Originally from Houston, Texas, Alex is a Veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan and sings stories about friends he has served with lost to suicide, romantic relationships from his past, and offers a unique perspective on life and what hope and love have taught him thru the years. A one-of-a-kind sound, stories and melodies heard nowhere else, and a full life of experience compressed into eight original songs for his latest album entitled ‘Balance’.
Robin. Alan. Stephen.
A story of loss, the song originally titled ‘Robin’ was written to tell the story of Alan and Stephen Colley, brothers and Soldiers who died by suicide. The song served as tribute to Robin Williams, but Alex’s Army buddy Alan succumbed to suicide in 2017 and afterwards Alex learned of Alan’s brother Stephen who, ten years before, also died by suicide. The song is a tribute to both brothers and all of our struggles with the struggles that plague Soldiers returning home from deployments.
