The Bob Wills Swing School is under the direction of bandleader, entertainer and educator, Dave Alexander (www.davealexander.com). A University of North Texas graduate, former member of the renowned UNT One-O’Clock Lab Band, and longtime music director for the Dallas Cowboys, Dave Alexander brings a rich combination of experience, education, talent and dedication to the Swing School.
The three time GRAMMY nominee, inductee into the Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame, and 2004 Academy of Western Artists Male Vocalist of the Year has performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in country music and is recognized for creating one of the finest Western Big Bands ever assembled.
Dave Alexander’s dedication to Western swing pays tribute to the passions of his grandfather and father and to the originators of this American art form. “My dad played trombone and some trumpet with Johnnie Lee Wills, and sometimes he and the rest of Johnnie Lee’s horn section would go on the road with Bob. I have been fortunate to have traveled my own music road and to be enjoying it to this day. I can’t think of a better summer than to be sharing the Bob Wills way with young musicians as Executive Director of the Bob Wills Swing School.” |
