Alan Height is singer songwriter from Reddick Florida. His album Hometown is on Reverberation.

When Alan was born, his father was a DJ for a radio station in Winter Park, Florida, and played guitar with a country western band. His mother was one of four sisters who sang in harmony at various events. Hearing his father playing guitar and his mother singing harmony to the radio, well, the magic of music just rubbed off on him.
Alan’s first instrument was a Hohner harmonica he received for his 7th birthday. On the way home, his grandmother told him something he played sounded like “Deck the Halls.” That evening, with his grandmother humming the tune, Alan was playing it well enough for everyone to recognize it. No one told him he was playing the harmonica upside down until 20 years later.
At 20, Alan began writing poetry. Something inside him had something to say, and he started saying it with music. Alan taught himself to play the guitar, and the poetry was destined to have music put to a rhythm. “I didn’t want to sound like other musicians, so I stopped listening to the radio,” Alan said.
One day he fashioned a harmonica holder out of a couple of coat hangers because he wondered if he could play the harmonica with the guitar, and found that it was easy to do.
