Alex Nackman's second release 'Stages | ep' is a collection of songs from various shows, recorded live. The tracks were taken from summer 2004 tour stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and New York City. "Stages | ep" is what Alex calls his "in between release" as he is currently working on his second studio effort with producer David Shaw (Van Morrison, Etta James, Jerry Garcia), which is scheduled for an early 2005 release. "Stages | ep" is a preview of some of the new material to be included on that upcoming studio record, which will be backed by a full band. The difference here is that the listener is able to experience Alex Nackman in the most vulnerable setting for a musician: solo, live, and on stage. Alex Nackman's songwriting skills and penchant for great melody and lyrical content has brought together a strong legion of fans and dedicated Street Team members that have helped to create a buzz on both the East and West Coasts. Having toured major music markets such as New York, Boston, Atlanta, and San Francisco, Alex turned his once modest in-home musical career into a touring act that has reached a national level of notice and acclaim from fans and press alike. * * * * * * If you haven't already, be sure to take a listen to Alex's debut studio release, 'GOOD IMPRESSIONS,' which has been hailed for its lyrical content and raw, but precise guitar work. 'Good Impressions' has allowed Alex to be named one of New York City's best up and coming singer/songwriters. This release is also available at CDBaby.com
