When discussing steady musical fixtures in the Northern California area, the name Alex Roth rises to the top. Passionate about music, song, and lyrics, he's been able to highlight all three while writing songs and fronting his band, “The West Nile Ramblers. ” A skilled songwriter and gifted performer, Alex also lends his talents to other area bands. A generous soul and a man of many talents, Alex runs his coffee company The Pepper Peddler, and donates his time and talent to many local causes, including KDRT. A longtime community favorite, KDRT and Armadillo Music are excited to see and hear Alex perform solo for the April Davis 2nd Friday ArtAbout.
