Greater Alexander

Alexander Vlachos (born August 18, 1980) is an independent singer songwriter. Born in New York, raised in Greece and currently residing in Detroit, Michigan, Vlachos started using the moniker Greater Alexander as a way of creatively expressing the greater part of himself through the medium of a sonic musical landscape. He uses natural reverb to record in spaces while infusing classical and acoustic guitars, piano, African and Latin percussion instruments to color the music and create an Indie-world folk genre similar to Jack Johnson intertwined with Trevor Hall, and Paul Simon. Partaking in this rebirth of Michigan and its glorious folk music, his voice is instantly soothing as it floats across the finely plucked and gently strummed guitar that finds its home in his arms. Greater Alexander nurtures his music from paper to the recording stage where he tracks his own vocal melodies to create a full-fledged, lush sound.
