Alex Radus and Dan Strauss bring their Songwriters Unabridged Northeast Tour to Jones Landing. They perform in a songwriters-round style, their music seamlessly blending and moving across genres. As a duo, they put on a mesmerizing performance showcasing their unique and memorable songwriting.
Alex Radus is known as a “sultry crooner” (City Paper) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage. Known affectionately for his unique brand of “genre whiplash”, Alex pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more. Legendary singer/songwriter John Gorka calls Alex a “remarkable artist…an excellent guitarist, songwriter and singer…worth going out of your way to hear”. Radus hails from Pennsylvania’s artistically rich Lehigh and Delaware River valley region, where he has established himself as one of the area’s premiere singer/songwriters.
Brooklyn, NY-based singer-songwriter Dan Strauss has been a touring musician for the past twenty-five years and has just released his 7th album, The Haze Of Winter Flowers. Dan has won over audiences with his melodic storytelling, rich vocals and intricate arrangements. His writing evokes touches of his songwriting heroes such as Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, John Lennon and Jeff Tweedy. Dan’s songs shift moods and styles, from alt-country to indie folk. He has appeared on NPR, WFUV, WDST-Radio Woodstock, and WBKM in Vermont and has shared the stage with artists such as Jenifer Jackson, Julian Verlard, Alex Radus, Pascal Lajoye, Franklin Rankin and many others.
