Alex Lee Warner Bio

Award-winning guitarist,  17 years oldAlex Lee Warner has emerged as one of the most compelling young voices in modern blues and rock. Hailing from York County, PA,  Alex blends deep emotional expression with technical mastery and a natural feel far beyond his years. His sound bridges blues tradition and rock intensity, creating performances that connect instantly with audiences while showcasing musicianship well beyond his age.

Alex is a four-time Central PA Music Hall of Fame Award winner and six-time nominee, recognized by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame and featured as a member of the CPMHOF Youth All-Star Band. He is currently nominated for two awards at the 7th Annual CPMA Awards: Best New Band for the Alex Lee Warner Band and Best Cover Song for “Tom Sawyer” with the CPMHOF Youth All-Star Band.

In 2024, Alex represented the Central PA Blues Society at the prestigious International Blues Challenge on Beale Street in Memphis, TN, performing at legendary venues including Alfred’s, Rum Boogie Café, and Blues City Café, and later taking the stage at the iconic Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS. That April, he opened for 2024 IBC winners Piper and the Hard Times in Nashville, TN. Alex also shared the stage with blues powerhouse “Big A” Anthony Sherrod during the 2024 Juke Joint Festival and went on to perform at the historic Red’s Lounge in Clarksdale, MS further establishing his reputation as one of the blues genre’s most electrifying rising talents.”

His national profile continued to rise in 2025, when he was named to the Dallas International Guitar Festival’s Top 10 Guitarists Under 20, placing him firmly among the next generation of elite players. That momentum carried directly onto major festival stages, most notably at RockFest 2025, where Alex and The Alex Lee Warner Band delivered a breakout performance alongside Stone Temple Pilots, Nothing More, Hinder, Dorothy, and The Funeral Portrait.
His original music—highlighted by the single “Peace, Love, Blues,” inspired by his journey to Nashville and the International Blues Challenge—continues to gain traction across streaming platforms. An fully endorsed artist with TwinDix Guitars and SIT Strings, Alex has also earned a 2025 Josie Music Awards nomination for Guitarist of the Year and the 2025 Chubediah Memorial Music Award.

Rounding out the lineup is Rich Sexton on rhythm guitar, owner of TwinDix, the craftsmen behind Alex’s custom guitars. Together, they form a dynamic, high-energy unit built on passion, power, and pure musicianship.

From historic juke joints to festival main stages, Alex Lee Warner delivers with fire—pushing the legacy of blues and rock straight into the future.
