Stefanos Alexiou Live @ Lemon Festival 2013

Yesterday, Sunday August 11th, 2013 I opened at Lemon Festival in Chula Vista, CA. This was my first festival live performance and at the same time the first local appearance with a chance for my friend to see me performing!

It was an exciting day as I opened my 5-song set with my version of “Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix to the cheers of a very warm and excited crowd.

Thank you so much to Jovita Juarez, Event Manager for the Third Avenue Village Association who book me and made time available for my set after the bookings were closed.

Thank you very much also to ALL who were there to support me in my first public performance in the San Diego area!

Here’s a video of my “Since I’ve Been Loving You” version that I performed live @ The Lemon Festival and it was blocked on YouTube:

Stefanos Alexiou – Welcome To The Jungle Live @ HOB on Sunset (7-28-2013)


Well, yesterday Sunday, July 28th, 2013 I was back at the House of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood for my third performance in three consecutive months!

This time I played a mellow down 5-song, 35-minute set that was also received very well by the crowd who was present at the Voodoo Lounge stage.

I know before hand that this performance at the HOB on Sunset would be my last for the Summer since I already started school last week. Had a great summer performing there for 3 months making some of my dreams come true!

Thank you to everyone at the House of Blues who invited me!

After my first performance at HOB on Sunset last month I felt blessed for accomplishing one of my short term goals. To be honest I didn’t expect to be invited back to play another set for a while. However I did get an invitation, this time to play a full 45-minute set on Sunday, June 30th, 2013.

In this second appearance at the Voodoo Lounge stage at the House of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood I chose to perform a 7-song set that consisted mostly of metal covers so I can showcase my other harder side.

What a way to start the Summer though! Second live performance at HOB in 2 consecutive months…

On Sunday May 12th, 2013 one of my personal goals became a reality as I performed a 5-song set live at the Voodoo Lounge stage in House of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood.

Almost 2 years ago on this same venue I saw Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Orianthi, Dweezil Zappa and my only guitar teacher (for two 1-hour tip sections) so far Tony McAlpine performing live and I set as a goal to soon perform in this venue. Well That became true a couple days ago and I couldn’t be more excited, especially hearing the crowd cheers as I was performing to Garry Moore’s “Parisienne Walkways”, one of the 5 songs that I performed that evening!

I feel so blessed!

Here’s a video of my “Parisienne Walkways” version live @ HOB on Sunset:

San Diego Kids Expo & Fair 2012

San Diego Kids Expo & Fair


Earlier today I played a 3-song set live at the Kids Expo 2012 at Del Mar Fairgrounds. This was my first live ever outside of my school’s yearly Christmas Show.

I was very excited going to this performance but after I started I realized that this wasn’t what I expected… 🙁 There were several vendor booths near the stage who started complaining that I was playing too loud and Mark kept turning my amps volume down throughout my performance.

People this is Rock and it’s got to be loud…

Anyways, thanks to Mark from Rock N Roll San Diego in Point Loma for inviting me to play at the Kids Expo. It was a learning experience of the kind of shows I rather not play again. 😉
