You've heard of the saying a boy and his dog? Well 16 Wentworth is a man and his piano. On it you'll find 7-tracks of very well done piano music that ranges from ballads to lively tickling of the ivory styled songs.
The songs found on 16 Wentworth are a collection of songs that were recorded by Alex between July 2002 and Sept. 2004 at Eman Music Studios in Boston. The song's subjects deal with life issues including, relationships, facing and overcoming life problems, and Alex lamenting about his hometown.
Alex's piano playing is top notch and his vocals have that friend like tone to them that makes you feel comfortable. The songs have a feel like a friend telling you about his life.
His sound has been compared to that of Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Elton John.
If your looking for some really good piano filled singer songwriter style of music to buy then Alex Tobin's release 16 Wentworth will meet and exceed your needs. The songs offer up very nice arrangements along with a wide variety of styles that keep things fresh all topped off with heartfelt lyrics.
