Alex Schultz's 1997 Concert History

Being the son of a world-known fashion designer and growing up in Greenwich Village is an unlikely background for a bluesman, but that's where Alex Schultz' story begins. At ten, Schultz started playing guitar and soaking up to the vinyl likes of Paul Butterfield, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and B.B. King. His stepdad exposed him to Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, and Wes Montgomery, influencing Schultz to play jazz guitar. During his sprint at Berklee School of Music, he commuted home weekends to perform with pop and rock groups.
