Alex Woodard

Alex Woodard emerged in the early 2000s playing a rugged blend of folk, Americana, and jangling rock intertwined with heartfelt narratives and personal introspection. An avid surfer and former child actor, the California native eventually found his voice through song, releasing a succession of critically lauded albums like 2004's Mile High and a 2008 self-titled set. Woodard later parlayed his natural storytelling gifts into a parallel career as an author, binding together his two passions with the unique 2012 book and companion album For the Sender. The inspirational project became an ongoing series yielding two more For the Sender books and albums including 2015's Love Letters from Vietnam. While continuing his writing career with the 2020 book Living Halfway, Woodard maintained his songwriting output on a series of EPs.
