Alexander McCowan (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada). "In oblivion, all is one and equal." And so begins the epic and memorable 'Present Times', the second album from 6'5" singer/songwriter Alexander McCowan. Recorded in the cold winter months of 2012, at the prestigious Private Ear Studios in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, 'Present Times' evokes the spirit of the 'eternal moment of now' with catchy, thoughtful California-inspired folk & country music. At the centre, is moustached singer/songwriter Alexander McCowan and his three muses - the acoustic guitar, the weissenborn and the ukulele. Building upon the successes of his first record 'Thief' (2009), which included national radio play and a 26-date cross-Canada tour, Alexander is back and ready to re-connect with the road. 'Present Times' was released on November 23, 2012 to a sold-out audience at the St. Boniface Museum (built in 1847, it is the oldest standing building in the city of Winnipeg). Already picked up by the local university and college radio stations, 'Present Times' now looks to spread its wings and take off into the ears and hearts of Canadians everywhere. Predominantly touring solo, Alexander McCowan brings character and content to the role of the singer/songwriter. A fresh and engaging presence, his 'smooth as warm butter' voice and his unique and playful songwriting all contribute to a warm, wholesome experience, which lingers in the minds and souls of his audience. Now performing.
