Monterey International - Alex Band Bookings

You may already know Alex as the voice, passion and songwriter behind The Calling. He is presently taking a break from The Calling, getting ready to release his first Solo CD which he produced with Matt Serletic (Rob Thomas, Collective Soul), John Fields (Switchfoot, Jonas Brothers) and Tal Herzberg (Black Eyes Peas, Christina Aguilera). After leaving RCA/BMG 4 years ago, he signed with Ron Fair at Interscope/Geffen Records as a solo artist. Due to a rapidly changing music business, Alex recently decided to leave Geffen and major labels in general and release his music worldwide on his very own label with help from friends in the business and his very dedicated fan base. This is the start of a new era and Alex is very excited to now be able to run all aspects of his career without the ongoing conflicts associated with working for major labels.

"My mission for the rest of this year is to include all my fans on every step of my solo career here on my new online site www.alexband.net. Now that I am a free agent running my own show, until the album comes out, I have made an EP that is for sale here online to keep the you fans tied over until the full album is released. So, stay tuned and I will fill you in on all that is to come. Thank you all again for the love and support you have given me over the last 7 years. I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life and I'm on my way to making new ones. All the love ....Alex"

Before embarking on a solo career, Alex and his band, The Calling, released two very successful albums and many hit singles, including "Adrienne," "Our Lives," and the massive hit “Wherever You Will Go,” which spent most of 2002 at the top of the Billboard Charts and recently was awarded a BDS Award for 800,000 spins. It became one of the biggest songs in the world by the end of 2002, receiving more than 3 million performances and it holds the 2nd place record for staying at number 1 at Adult Top 40 radio the longest amount of time in history, just behind Santana's "Smooth". The band's albums have sold over 4 million copies worldwide. Alex has appeared in films such as "Coyote Ugly" and "Fish without a Bicycle." His music has been featured in such films as "Daredevil," "Kate and Leopold," "Love, Actually," and "Sweet Home Alabama." The song "Our Lives" was used as the theme for the CBS television show "Clubhouse" and was played during the closing ceremony at the Summer Olympics in 2004. It was also featured in the trailer for the 2006 Oscars as well as going to number one in multiple countries across the globe. In addition, Alex recorded and released the #1 single "Why Don't You and I" with Carlos Santana in 2003.

Currently Alex is putting the finishing touches on his new label and creating the marketing plan to give his first solo album the best push possible. In the meantime, along with his awesome new band of players, Alex is touring all over the world, playing The Calling favorites and lots of great new songs as well.
