Alex Southey

Alex Southey's immersive indie rock lives at the intersections of shoegaze and folk. By fusing these disparate genres together with cerebral, emotionally insightful songwriting he is one of the most interesting, endearing voices in this generation of Canadian musicians.

Southey began in 2019. With each subsequent release, Southey has developed an increasingly passionate fanbase, along with positive recognition from Domionated, Exclaim!, The Manitoban, CBC Radio, CHCH Morning Show, and more.

Since adding a backing band in 2021, Southey has released two singles (tongue-in-cheek indie rocker "Open Season", and the yearning art pop "Soften"), performed one of the Horseshoe Tavern's first "back to normal" shows in March 2022, and performed twice at NXNE in June. Southey released his latest work, Common Fantasies, on Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 to poisitive reception.

The week of January 9, 2023 Earshot chose southey as their "Artist of the Week".
