Tommy Alexander Releases New Single TOO MANY MILES

March 20 marked the official start to spring. It also marked the official release of Tommy Alexander's newest single "Too Many Miles".

"This song was inspired by the feeling of being a long way from the ones you love, from your home. Here I am feeling a pull towards introspection and self examination, to get more to the root of my own loneliness. It was ironic because I wrote the song at my Dad's house over Thanksgiving weekend, while visiting the house that I grew up in. I left that home, as many do around 18 years old, and since have spent plenty of time missing my family, missing that home, missing some aspect of a childhood innocence. In this song I found a small piece to the puzzle of my life." -Tommy Alexander

About Tommy Alexander:

Making it as a musician today can require a heavy helping of DIY spirit, and Tommy Alexander has that in spades. It carried the California born musician all the way to Burlington, Vermont, where he founded Jenke Arts, a nonprofit artists' collective and record label, and eventually all the way back west, where he found a new artistic home (at least for the moment) in Portland, Oregon. Once in Portland, Alexander connected with producer Mike Coykendall, who has worked with a slew of indie darlings, including M. Ward, She and Him Bright Eyes and Blitzen Trapper. Alexander's vocals recall the earnest warble of Conor Oberst, but expand into a unique, infectious indie rock style all his own. His honest and heartfelt lyricism come to life in his songs which will strike a chord with you the very first listen.
