Alec K Redfearn is a musician and composer based in Providence, Rhode Island.
Most notable is his body of compositional work for The Eyesores, a genre-bending ensemble of unorthodox instrumentation which spawned in the mid-1990s and whose music spans old-time Americana, Appalachian, folk and Eastern European music.
He composed the soundtrack for, and had a small acting role in, the 2004 film, Stay Until Tomorrow, by Providence-based director, Laura Colella.
In 2005 he was awarded the MacColl Johnson Fellowship from the Rhode Island Foundation.
He has also developed a unique style of playing the accordion, introducing elements commonly associated with the guitar such as distortion, drone, and noise.
