Originally from New Jersey, bassist Alec Newnam was born to musician parents who worked with Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, and more, so music has been an intrinsic part of his life since he was born. Now based in Nashville, Newnam has made a name for himself in his own right, having performed with greats like Jeff coffin, Rory Hoffman, Rahsaan Barber, and more, and performed multiple times on the Grand Ole Opry stage as well as at the Ryman. His quartet features Kevin Gatzke on tenor sax, Bill Alexson on piano, and Nate Felty on drums.
