SXSW 2022: Abraham Alexander

I guess I'll keep going alphabetically down the Luck Reunion lineup.  This artist opened for Leon Bridges at Stubb's but we didn't get there in time to see him.  

Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, his family moved to Ft. Worth when he was 11.  Shortly after moving his mother was killed by a drunk driver.  Here's an interview with him in Texas Monthly.  He has been opening for both Bridges and Gary Clark, Jr.  

It looks like he has released just one EP  but according to that interview more is in the pipeline. Here's him playing the EP live at Paste Studio.  The first song on it, "Lover's Game", has some good guitar picking. Expect big things.

This is nice.
