Alex2e

More importantly, Alex2e is a storyteller. In 2012, while recovering from major surgery and desperate for reprieve, he picked up his sister's beat up guitar and started writing. Words became lyrics, days became months and bathroom video covers turned into gigs. Fast forward to today and his leaps can be measured in dog years. Called "One of Boston's most sought-after artists" by Berklee's Red Room, Alex has made a name for himself across New England and beyond. From self-taught singer-songwriter to seasoned indie artist, he has eclipsed over 1,100 shows nationally, supporting acts like Matt Nathanson, Everclear (solo), Howie Day and Michigander, while collecting over 2.5 million streams independently since 2016. "The past few years have been more than I could've hoped for. I really feel like I'm playing with house money," Tuohey says. "For a guy who never thought he'd play to anyone but my own bathroom mirror, it's been a dream to play for people. At a bar to a couple people or a packed venue - it's a dream."
