The music, art, and business of Rock and Roll is defined by its ephemeral nature of latest trends, fashion, and sounds. One approach is to ride the current wave and attempt to capture lightning in a bottle. Another comes from the passion of creating music with these influences through perseverance, tenacity, and commitment to your craft.

Magic Alex have displayed their dedication and endurance by releasing and performing music every decade since the 90’s, releasing three EP’s on cassette and one on CD in their early career, and a full-length album Trip the Cat in 2016. The power trio line up of Bob Beck, guitars/vocals, Rick LeBlanc, drums, and newest member Shane Beck, bass (and Bob’s son), released their next album It’s All Fine in 2021, expanding on their 70’s classic rock sound. After the release of two singles in 2023, which both charted on the World Indie Music Charts Top 100, Magic Alex welcomed Kristin LeFever, piano/vocals (and Bob’s daughter) and Meriki Mazur, vocals (and Bob’s granddaughter) adding a unique family dynamic to the band. 

This new musical direction can be heard on their latest album, Light of a Million Suns, which will be released on vinyl and CD in January of 2026.
