Music video from Alec Berlin

Originally coming from Cleveland, Ohio, Alec Berlin is the guitar-slinging artist who’s now based in Brooklyn, New York. Cutting his teeth as a sought after session musician for both studio and live gigs, he’s developed into the six-string wizard making music as a solo act today.

Since 2000, he’s been sharing his sonic vision with multiple captivating releases, kicked off with his debut album of jazz originals Crossing Paths. In 2019 he set out to produce a record called Space Punk and Other Junk that captured his passion for memorable pop rock songwriting paired with his virtuoso guitar skills.

When the pandemic struck, instead of heading to his job as the guitarist in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical ‘Come From Away’ he found himself stuck at home with a collection of ideas he’d discovered in his dreams. When one night he woke up from a dream where he’d discovered an unheard long lost hit song, he jumped to his guitar to play the music he’d uncovered and set out on a path to record the new material that was coming to him.

Bringing us one of his recent releases, he shares the song and music video for his single “Flatbush Jaywalk”. Blasting through his jazz-inspired rock sound, on “Flatbush Jaywalk”, Alec Berlin spins a shifting sound that pairs whimsical and breezy stints, hard-hitting and in your face riffs and scintillating lead guitar work.

Paired with a lo-fi style music video that cuts scenic landscape travels with gritty city shots, the video perfectly reflects the contrasting tones in the composition.
