7:30 Alex Radus

Alex Radus is hailed as a “versatile crooner” (UMC Nashville) and “skilled fretman” (Morning Call), but his songwriting takes center stage. Alex pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more, leapfrogging genres and blurring the lines between them. John Gorka calls him a “remarkable artist…an excellent guitarist, songwriter and singer…worth going out of your way to hear”. Most recently, Alex was selected as a 2024 Falcon Ridge Folk Fest Emerging Artist and voted a “Most Wanted” artist to return to the Main Stage in 2025. He also writes for and performs with Hot4Robot (alt rock / post-punk) and The Christmas Sweaters (irreverent and comical holiday music). Alex hails from Pennsylvania’s artistically rich Lehigh and Delaware River valley region where he lives with his wife and two daughters.
