Alex Boisselle is a Roots/Blues/cajun/canadiana slide guitar/harmonica singer/songwriter recently signed to the EAR DRUM VALLEY label. He was picked out of a nationwide demo submission in the summer of 2009 and was awarded a label funded recording deal including mixing, mastering and promotion.

With his group Ashbury Train, Alex recorded the album in Calgary in November 09 with a producer and mobile studio. The recording sessions went so well and the music was so appreciated by the label that the group was approved for another recording in the coming years.
