💿 ALBUM REVIEW: Alex Kilroy - Break My Chains

Image
Orlando-based blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Alex Kilroy delivers powerful, boundary-pushing performances that honor traditional roots while forging a distinct modern sound. Originally born in Transylvania, Romania , Kilroy spent his early childhood training on classical piano before a life-changing introduction to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan permanently shifted his trajectory toward the blues.

Now a vital fixture in the Southeastern music scene, Kilroy channels this lifetime of technical mastery and soulful songwriting into his compelling new album.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in CD and Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman e...
