The energetic pop/rock singer-songwriter Alex Winston played at Showbox at the Market last week, the first night of a five week-long tour with Neon Trees. Classically trained as an opera singer — and a self-taught guitarist, songwriter, and pianist — Winston’s vocals were clear and catchy as she bounded across the stage during her 40-minute set. Watch for her sophomore album, Careless, this fall. Coincidently, we both grew up in the Detroit suburbs – 10 miles and 30+ years apart.
