Elias Alexander (USA)

Elias Alexander uses electronics to alchemize traditional music into something healing, deeply personal, and very much of this moment. Wielding bagpipes, fiddle, guitar, whistles, and keyboards on stage, he deftly loops and samples to build energy, taking audiences on a journey that encourages wild dancing and collective singing.

Elias draws on his deep roots in the Scottish and American musical traditions and combines them with his catchy, pop-influenced electronic production and original songs that discuss themes of alienation, belonging, and queerness.
