Alex Kilroy links with Vince Gill on new single

Born in Transylvania, Alex Kilroy’s journey begins with a certainty that life was waiting somewhere beyond the horizon. Long before recording studios, festival appearances or miles logged across continents, there was a young musician with an American flag hanging above his bed and a belief that his future existed elsewhere. That dream became the force that kept pulling him forward, eventually finding expression through the language of American blues.

His first relationship with music came through classical piano training, giving him discipline, structure and a deep understanding of how songs are built. Yet technique alone was never the whole story and when he discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan, that moment redirected everything. Piano stepped aside, guitar took centre stage and a new path opened immediately. Still in his teens, Alex was already fronting blues tribute bands, taking to festival stages across Europe with the confidence of someone who’d found the right instrument at the right time.

He played wedding gigs to raise money, navigated visa setbacks and made cold calls to venues in the hope of securing a stage. Eventually, momentum carried him to the United States, first through a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, then later a base in Orlando, marking the point where a musician shaped by admiration and study began stepping fully into his own voice as a songwriter with personal stories to tell.

That next chapter leads to his forthcoming debut album Break My Chains, recorded in Florida with a small, carefully chosen band and developed alongside producer Tres Sasser. Ahead of the record’s arrival, Alex now links up with Vince Gill on the brand new single titled “Let The Good Times Roll.” The collaboration offers a final window into his Transylvania-to-Nashville arc before the album lands, tethering his present to the tradition that first inspired him.

Captured through Alex’s bluesy, guitar-driven lens, the track pairs his expressive playing and compelling vocal delivery with Vince’s engaging presence. Jumping straight into a lively blues rock scene with the flicker of guitar licks, the track glides with grooving guitars and punching drums as Alex’s bright vocal performance rings out above, crafting an energising slice of soulful rock music.

Cut with epic lead guitar work and brimming with musicianship panache, it’s an incredible outing that puts Alex Kilroy’s songwriting flair and performance talent on full display. It honours classic blues rock music while still sounding tied to the artist Alex Kilroy has become. With “Let The Good Times Roll” and Break My Chains arriving soon this thrilling artist shows no signs of slowing down on his unstoppable journey as an exciting name on the rise.
