Walking jukebox Alex Medeiros is a Warwick resident creating parties across the state with his guitar. Medeiros is an acoustic guitarist who has populated a fan base through his weekly shows at various bars and venues. Medeiros has about 400 songs memorized and is continuously learning more. No genre is out of bounds, but his heart rests with classic rock, blues and R&B. Rhythmic and rambunctious but delightful with flair, Medeiros aims to be the next John Mayer. He embodies Mayer's bluesy rock and roll element but with a modern day swagger and charm.
Medeiros is separated from other guitarists by his skill sets. He memorizes every song and does not use any technical help when playing a gig. He strums with his fingers and never uses a pick. It is believed fingerpicking enhances sound quality and for Medeiros, it proves his self-taught precision.
Five years ago, Medeiros picked up a guitar to play for a friend and never put it back down. He plays with careful tenacity, good form and sings with proper articulation. His song setlists are creative and productive featuring covers of Sublime, Tom Petty, Don McClean, John Mayer, Santana and many others. The songs he has learned over time continue to get harder to promote his growth as a musician. In an attempt to turn his passion into a career Medeiros arranged deals for weekly shows and started playing private events and weddings. His jukebox-like memory could be the key to your next event’s live entertainment.
Catch Medeiros live at Boomerangs Roadhouse from 6:00–9:00 p.m. on Monday nights. He also frequents JJ’s Cafe at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday nights and Ravenous Brewing Company at 6:00 p.m. on Friday nights. Catch him making pop up appearances at Scotch Plains Tavern. No matter where he is, Medeiros is the life of the party and a karaoke legend. Medeiros is definitely a universal ambiance ready for any moment.
