Alex Guthrie to Appear on The Acoustic Lunch Hour

ATLANTA - May 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Dirty South TV and Darwin's Burgers and Blues are proud to announce that Alex Guthrie will be on Episode 6 of Season 3 of Dirty South TV's The Acoustic Lunch Hour.

Alex Guthrie may only be 20 years old, but when his honey-rich voice bathes you with his life-earned lyrics, you’ll say what everyone does … “he’s an old soul.”

“An old soul”

Alex Guthrie may only be 20 years old, but when his honey-rich voice bathes you with his life-earned lyrics, you’ll say what everyone does … “he’s an old soul.” Like a fine whiskey that starts rough and raw, but in an oak barrel, mellows to smooth, complex flavors, his voice builds from his toes - pure feeling - then rumbles through his chest, tempered by heart and emotion. The tone is clear and strong, but with grit and guts too – a great mahogany board polished smooth as glass, but still the grain is strong, swirling and proud.

Alex has opened for National Touring Artists Collin Raye, Parmalee, and The Parkington Sisters. Also, Alex has been invited to perform with Legendary Country Music Icons Bill Anderson, Marty Raybon and Ken Mellons. In 2013, he performed at the Bayou Benepalooza in Slidell Louisiana with Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame member Ernie Vincent, the IMR music festival in Atlanta Georgia and the Alexander City Jazz Fest in Alexander City Alabama. Alex was also crowned the Cobb County Idol and placed 2nd in the Budweiser Guitar Challenge in Marietta Georgia that same year. In 2014, Alex has shared the stage with the world's greatest Journey tribute band DSB, Nashville Recording artists The Saints of Havanna and Blues Hall of Fame member The BLUESDOG at Jimmy Buffett’s Margarittaville in Nashville, Tennessee.

Listening to his grab-you-by-the-shirt-and-pull-you-in-tight voice, you could almost fail to notice Alex’s chops on the guitar … almost. Whether it is the crying wail of slide guitar, speaking in call-and-response to Alex’s words or his fingers dancing across the neck in soul-filled solo, his guitar never fails to impress. With influences including Otis Redding, Van Morrison, Marc Broussard, and Ray LaMontagne, Alex’s genre goes by different names to different people. Folk-Rock, Blues, or Americana--the listener’s preference is likely to influence his or her categorization. What they all agree on, though, is that it’s great music … or as Alex sometimes says with a broad, sideways grin, Great Folk’in Music.

According to the President and CEO of Dirty South TV, "Alex Guthrie could very well be the biggest thing to come out of the Georgia music scene in the 21st Century. He buckles people's knees and leaves them in awe. To say that Alex Guthrie is the real deal is the understatement of the 21st Century."
