Alex Woodard's Self-Titled Album Out On August 19, 2008

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Adrenaline Records) - Singer/Songwriter's New Album Features Guests Including Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins And Fountains Of Wayne's Brian Young

Singer/songwriter Alex Woodard will release his new, self-titled album today, August 19, on Woodshack Music/Adrenaline Music Group.
With his undeniable, story-driven songwriting, Woodard tackles universal themes like love, loss, hope, and struggle, tapping into a rich vein of country-rock that George Varga, Music Editor of the San Diego Union Tribune, calls, "An accomplished collection that suggests broader success is close at hand...Woodard's well-crafted songs are cut from the same cloth as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and John Mellencamp, whose music eloquently captures earthy truths about living, loving and growing older without losing the dreams of youth.
His words and music are right on target." Allmusic.com also raves, "Woodard pens tales instantly recognizable, for they're American stories we've all lived and shared, with the album holding a mirror to us all."

Joining Woodard on the new album is Nickel Creek's singer/fiddler and fellow San Diego surfer Sara Watkins, who duets with him on "Reno," a song about letting go of dreams that don't fit anymore. Pulled from the popular Blog Spot, Wildy's World, "The absolute highlight of this album is Reno, the duet with Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins.
This is one of the most traditional country sounding songs on the album, and Woodard's voice works with Watkins' so well you'd think they've been singing together for years." Grammy-winner Watkins, whose fiddle appears on several tracks, also lends her voice to the ballad, while Fountains of Wayne's Brian Young mans the drums.
Look for Woodard to appear in your town on his popular "House Concert Tour" where he is playing in local fans homes.
