It's been called beatnik bluegrass, pop-grass, folk noir, y'allternative. but it's folk. Folk or Americana. And just like everybody else spews names of other artists to help describe the music he or she (or their band) makes, I will tell you that mine is. well, Johnny Cash meets Judy Garland!
And why the name? Well, I like to hear people say it.
Please, enjoy. ---------------------
"Without delving into an essay on the stylistic quirks in Americana, Alexis Thompson has found a style that's just outside of Nashville's conventional wisdom." --Stereo Zeitgeist
"Alexis Thompson sings alt-country-folk with a pleasingly plaintive voice. Sincerity glows from every note. And her songwriting impresses, as well. Be sure to listen to the bluesy "Strugglin'." "Some of Us Are Crazy" and "Stupid Cowboy" stand out among the other winners." --Palo Alto Daily News
"Alexis Thompson is a talented and ambitious young artist based in the Nashville area. When I first came across her music, I was struck by her creativity and uniqueness. She was also gracious enough to consent to an interview on The East Bank. " --The East Bank (Nashville, TN)
"Listening to Oh! Alexis is perusing a vintage record store. 40's chanteuse, 50's country crooner, 60's folk, Alexis Thompson is classic without being kitschy. The queen of the cool consignment shop." --Lanny Grant, Blah-g, Blah-g, Blah-g
"WE LOVE OH ALEXIS! FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME WE HEARD HER ANGEL VOICE WE KNEW SHE IS VERY SPECIAL! WE PLAY ALL HER MUSIC IN THE SHOP AND EVERYONE REALLY ENJOYS HER SONGS !VERY UNIQUE,AND SHE'S GOT HER OWN STYLE, WHICH IS SO REFRESHING!" --Retro Sandy, Threads Vintage Emporium
"Oh, Alexis! has created music that is definitely worth listening to over and over and over etc.She has demonstrated strong songwriting abilities and is vocally powerful without being intrusive. Her guitar styling is loose yet controlled and fits well with her vocals and giving you that good ol' Smokey Mountain feel." --Musictogousa.com
"Don't listen to whatever those evil, devil-worshipping multimedia conglomerations shove down your throat -- listen to Alexis Thompson!" - Tom Navarro, Damn Straight Boogie--WRFN 98.9 Nashville
