Perhaps Houston Press writer Nicholas L. Hall summed it up best when he wrote, "Listening to multi-instrumentalist Lee Alexander is a lot like taking a leisurely stroll through about a century of American popular music...Alexander has earned a reputation as both a strikingly original voice and an able torch-bearer for a broad handful of American musical idioms, layering Nilsson-esque pop-standard fare, dusty country ballads, the occasional bluesy stomp, touches of jazz classicism and damn near anything else he wants."

 

Alexander has been honored as a finalist in the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and as Best Male Vocalist by the Houston Press Music Awards (2009). Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder recognized his songwriting talents as well in the 2011 Songwars Competition. Other past honors include being a grand finalist in The Bugle Boy Songwriting Competition, the 2007 Independent Music Awards, a regional finalist in the 2007 Mountain Stage Newsong Folk Festival, and a semifinalist in the 2005 UK Songwriting Contest. Alexander has also been a featured artist on the Spare the Rock Spoil the Child radio program, the Songwriter's Serenade Folk Festival, "M" Music and Musicians Magazine, Performing Songwriter Magazine, the 2007 Mardi Gras Galveston Festival, the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus 2006 Summer NAMM Showcase, and Songwriter of the the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Houston Press Music Awards.

​

His music has been featured in commercials for radio and TV as well as PBS program "Road Trip Nation".

 

When Alexander isn't composing and performing he teaches art and entertains his students in the Houston area, where he was awarded Teacher of the Year. He also serves as a student mentor at KISD, serves as a mentor with the Cy-Borgs 3335 FRC Highschool Robotics Team, Produces the B&B Books & Beer Podcast and has recently started a blog called "My Santa Habit."

 

In his spare time, he's training to become the state clogging champion and frequently daydreams about finding a giant box full of money.
