Windy City Joe's Michael & Jackson sit down with one of their most entertaining guests yet, Roman Alexander to find out his unique path to get into the music industry, his favorite drinks, life on the road, his thoughts on the ""Chicago Handshake"", and so much more!

Now in his early 20s, Alexander has nearly two decades of performing. The first songs he learned on guitar were ""Ring of Fire"" and ""Folsom Prison Blues"", thanks to a childhood love of Johnny Cash. His mother’s love of Elvis Presley was also influential and you can hear the clever references to the King in his songs.

Alexander moved to Nashville to get his music heard. He posted performances and gained a strong following, which led to signing a publishing and development deal with Twelve6 Entertainment. He began working with Jerry Flowers, a top writer in Nashville and Keith Urban’s bandleader, on refining his songwriting and elevating his live show.

The creative partnership led to Between You & Me, co-produced by Flowers and Jared Keim. Alexander co-wrote four of five songs, along with Nashville heavyweights Dylan Altman, Jason Gantt, Scott Stepakoff and John Caldwell. The EP addresses the push and pull of love, from new romance on “Cocktail Conversations” to emotional entanglements on “Bad for Me” You’ll pick up on the understated qualities of lyrics and melodies.

With Between You & Me, Roman Alexander has assembled a collection of songs that proves he’s paid his dues, honed his craft and is ready to stake his claim in country music.
