Originally hailing from Perth, Ontario, Alex Hodgins is a musician whose sound plays homage to Dylan, Neil Young and the 70s folk rock era.
Alex has been writing songs since he was a teenager, mostly on various slips of scrap paper that were inevitably scattered in the wind. In 2020, he started putting together some of those pieces, which would turn into his first full songs. In the quiet of the pandemic, sitting on the roof of his childhood home, he compiled a notebook full of songs that he still writes in today.
Folk-rock with a rural twang, his lyrics are inspired by a desire to get away from the rush of the world. A blend of fact and fiction, Alex's songs inspire you to get out on the river, sit on the back porch, or quit your job.
After moving to Whitehorse, Yukon in the fall of 2020 and settling into life in the North, Alex has continued writing songs and is pursuing music both independently and with his band, The Screendoors.
Alex's debut EP Your Town is out now!
