West Chester’s Alex DiMattia is both a singer-songwriter in the poppy Jim Croce / Jackson Browne tradition, and a classically trained dancer who has performed with The Brandywine Ballet. In 2012, he released his full-length album Starting Again , and this year he followed it up with a seasonal single called “Snowflakes Start To Fall.” Driven by sleigh bells and a jaunty beat, it showcases DiMattia’s warm voice and knack for melodic hooks. Download it below, and see DiMattia perform in The Nutcracker with The Brandywine Ballet this weekend.
