TRESPASS

To say that Alex has many strings to his bow would be a metaphor forgiven for the fact that it helps to conjure his presence as a musical magician. Almost totemic, whether it’s finger-style acoustic guitar, lap-steel, or bouzouki, Alex plays with a mastery borne of years of graft, craft, and of a man who seems to straddle boundaries of time.

 

His lyrics offer a fusion of cultural pertinence, generated by an acute appreciation for our earth and ancestry, and a raw gift for storytelling. His musical oeuvre is enriched by his travels and immersive living experiences, the result is an oasis of mini ‘odysseys’ in which each song feels like it has been specially harvested for our appreciation.

‘Alex’s music comes from the heart & will touch your heart.

His songs weave stories, & the music wraps them up in magic.

Be prepared to be swept away’

Larmer Tree Festival

​

'Take that classic Martyn, Chapman, Harper blend of blissed reflection and funky light strum, mixing ancient and modern to make something fulfilling, engaging, very listenable and often genuinely moving.

A contender for my best of the year list'.
