My name is Alex. I play guitar and enjoy listening to the Grateful Dead. When I feel inspired, I record and release music. I want to be in a jam band someday. The psychedelic experience is something that I feel has been both integral and unprecedented to my development as a person. It has shaped me in all my creative and professional endeavors, and I try to let that show in my writing. When I’m not typing, I like to be outside.
