Scott Alexander and David Rosenfield

Description

At the ripe old age of 34, Florida-based indie folk singer David Rosenfield is a fatalist and optimist. He has waltzed through a life of dusty basements and mountain tops, looking for that golden child called happiness. Or is it California? Either way. His songs are filled with unconventional imagery over a backdrop of Mountain Goats-esque acoustic guitar, with the ghost of the Violent Femmes lurking somewhere over his shoulder or around the corner. There's a little country music in there somewhere, vying with the punk rock and the folk and the blues. To see him perform live is to witness some kind of an impassioned backwoods poet, as he yells, or whispers, or croons. One thing is for certain: playing music for you makes him happy.

With his unique background, Scott Alexander performs a sort of non-repetitive “pop”, where each song constantly evolves without a verse-chorus structure. Nevertheless, his demeanor and catchy sound is reminiscent of artists such as Jonathan Richman, David Byrne, Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes, and Magnetic Fields. In addition, Scott bakes and serves fresh vegan chocolate chip cookies at each performance. His latest album, Scott Alexander Makes Friends, was named one of the top 25 CD's of 2007 by indie-music.com, which reviews 300-350 albums each month.
