EP20: ALEX ROBERTS - "Hacking Back To The Wild" | Lonely Road Picture Show
It was an absolute pleasure to be invited onto the Toward A Better Life podcast with Kevin Pennell. We had a very chilled chat about the bardic tradition, magic, nature, and how they inform my work.
This is a wonderful podcast and I’d highly recommend getting on board with it.
Live long and trespass x
'An exemplary musician and Bard in the truest sense of the word'
To say that Alex Roberts 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, in which a variety of instruments seamlessly pop into set, beautifully played and adored. Whether it’s the finger-style guitar, lap-steel, or bouzouki, it is played with a sincerity borne of years of graft, craft, and of a man who seems to straddle time through song.
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 songs are enriched by travel and immersive living experiences, from off-grid living in the wilds of rural France, to Tipi dwelling in Dorset, allowing music to guide his path across multiple continents, the result is an oasis of mini ‘odysseys’ in which each song feels like it has been specially harvested for our appreciation. Through years of devotion and study Alex not only turns life into song, but enables us to see that song provides life with its heartbeat.
His most recent album - ‘Trespass’ - (released May 2025 on the Mottow Soundz label) is a body of work illustrative of a deep connection to musical heritage and a progressive mastery of his art.
‘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’
Wimborne Folk Festival

beautifully written and wonderfully executed’
Mark Chadwick - The Levellers
‘Superb musicianship and great songs. A true gem’
Kashmir Stage, Isle of Wight Festival
'Alex plays bloody wonderfully!'
John Renbourn
'A firm favourite!'
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'.
