My music reflects the experiences in life I've had this far as well as my quest for the fundamental truth in this world.

9pm- Alex Mallett
For Alex Mallett, a love of storytelling and folk music began with his father. Enchanted by stories of ghosts, lost loves and generations past, Alex picked up the banjo at the age of nine. As a teenager, he experimented with electrified instruments and studied jazz and classical bass in Montreal. He played lots of cocktail gigs and in indie rock bands but it was the spirit of the stories his father told that brought him back to the banjo. He began writing songs from his own life, candid and witty, with bittersweet punch lines that expound on personal mysteries, or simply make you want to sing along (and audiences often do.) With Nico Dann on drums, Alan Biller on bass and a host of merry special guests, The Alex Mallett Band bring a special warmth to stage and record that will leave you wanting more.
