Alex Radus

• Folk

Alex Radus is known as a “versatile crooner” (UMC Nashville) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage. Known affectionately for his unique brand of “genre whiplash”, Alex pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more.

During his early career, Alex was awarded a youth scholarship to the Augusta Heritage Center, where some of the nation’s best finger-pickers helped influence his unique finger style and respect for traditional music.

He’s opened for Richie Havens, Jeffrey Gains and Darrell Scott and performed with John Gorka as a member of the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Most recently, he 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. Alex hails from Pennsylvania’s artistically rich Lehigh and Delaware River valley region where he lives with his wife and two daughters.

“Alex Radus is a remarkable artist. He is an excellent guitarist, songwriter and singer. He moves across multiple genres with effortless virtuosity. Whether playing solo or with an ensemble, Alex is surely worth going out of your way to hear.” – John Gorka
