Full Bio
Meet Alan Goldberg, an Austin-based musical architect whose compositions ripple with melody, harmony, and a divine energy that awakens the senses. Rooted at the piano and powered by a fearless blend of jazz, progressive rock, and blues, Goldberg crafts sonic tapestries that leap from intricate prog tangles to velvety jazz flows, luring listeners into a ride that’s as thrilling as it is soulful.
A boomer with a maverick spirit, Goldberg was molded by the audacious anthems of The Who, Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP, Chick Corea, and Frank Zappa. Those formative nights—spinning records on his dad’s turntable, melting into a recliner, and diving into the uncharted—still drive him. “I want my music to spark that same rush, that sense of ‘what’s next?’” he says. He has followed the branch from his musical roots to modern bands with the same spark like The Dear Hunter, Coheed and Cambria, Between the Buried and Me, Thank-you Scientist, and others.
From growing up in Waterloo, Iowa’s quiet lanes, to Minneapolis’ icy edge—think Prince and The Replacements—to Austin’s buzzing streets, where Stevie Ray Vaughan’s statue stands proud, Goldberg’s story is a sonic road trip. After 20+ years lighting up local blues and prog scenes, he’s mastered a process that’s alive and electric: live piano improv, layered with real and virtual instruments. It’s a method that’s birthed treasures like Fuel For The Fire, Small Acts (solo piano), Chasing Stray Flames, and Passion No Distraction—works that hum in yoga rooms, meditation spaces, and spiritual hideaways.
Now, Goldberg unveils CreateBecome, an 11-track odyssey released on March 10, 2025. For forty years, he’s lived by a mantra—CreateBecome—a rhythm, a cycle, a pulse of existence. “It’s more than words,” he says. “It’s how I move through life.” This fifth album embodies that ethos, tracing the arc of creation, transformation, and release. Each song mirrors a step in the journey—moments of inspiration, motion, and revelation—woven into a story that’s less a straight line and more an unfolding, a becoming. Blending alternative and progressive rock with jazz and swing, CreateBecome embraces the unexpected. The piano anchors it—sometimes surging ahead, sometimes threading through a jazz ensemble, warm strings, and fiery guitar—crafting a soundscape that’s vast yet intimate. Like a classic prog rock saga, it’s a current you ride, twisting and shifting, with melodies that rise and fall, harmonies that entwine, all reaching for something higher—growth, change, evolution.
