Respect for the music and evolution are the words that those who know
Alex TNT, who have spent hours and hours playing with him, serving
every Sunday in Jamboree from Barcelona, and has played in numerous
countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Germany, Canada,
USA …)-, cite when talking about this young musician was born in
Barcelona.
Alex Alvarez began listening to blues discs since childhood, grew up
listening to the great masters of the genre such as Steve Ray Vaughan,
Albert King, BB King, Howlin ‘Wolf, Johnny Guitar Watson and many
others, and from that profound knowledge of tradition is cementing his
career as Alex TNT.
But not just the blues, other branches of the black music such as soul,
funk and r & b also have influenced him, artists like James Brown,
Prince, Sly Stone, Otis Redding, Etta James and Stevie Wonder. Proof of
this are his compositions.
