Onwards and upwards to The Lou Lou Room (Wynnum) on 17th February. It’s the venue’s debut show, so it ought to be a banger! And, couldn’t make it last night?

Update 15/4/2023: Unfortunately, due to storms, Sydney airport was closed and we couldn’t land the airplane in order to get on stage at The Moshpit Bar on Thursday just passed. Sad! We’ll have to make up for it in Canberra next month. News coming at you soon, regardless! Also, 6 weeks until “Fantasia Fugue” is out. Hang tight!

Update 13/3/2023: Wow, time flies! Or Tempus Fugit, as it is in Latin. It’s been almost two weeks since the last post – a window of time which saw us finally play at Greaser – it was a great night! Check out the live recording of the entire set (right) as posted on YT in 4K. Otherwise, have a great start to your week all!
Update 2/3/2023: Amid tour planning for Melbourne for the end of this month, these last few days have contained some recording and collaborations for my sixth album “Felonious Friends”! Yes, that’s right, the fifth album isn’t out yet, and I’m already working on number six! This issuing is sure to titillate and transcend previous musical excursions – because each of the twelve songs that are planned for the LP all feature other singers – but you’re going to have to wait until December for that. Until then, keep your eyes and ears peeled for Fantasia Fugue, which is 91 days away at this point! Otherwise, hope you’re having a nice week, and stay groovy!

Update 13/2/2023: Week two of our radio campaign for “Brisbane Ramblings” commences today, and thanks to Hush Hush Biz Magazine and BMA Magazine for their respective write-ups.

2022 Queensland Music Award-nominated Singer-songwriter, Alex Edwards
After earning industry praise for his sophomore release “Fealty Fjords” with the Billy Thorpe Scholarship nomination at the Queensland Music Awards in 2022, Alex Edwards’ alternative-indie outings to date tell the tale of mental health awareness, personal struggle and… well… extra-terrestrial life. Now, after having long-cemented his debut into the tapestry of Brisbane acoustic folklore (via the piece de la resistance “Flight Frost” mastered via Abbey Road in 2015) Alex in 2024 seeks his sixth publication “Felonious Friends” with Out With The In producer Hugh Middleton (Jaguar Jonze, Hope D). This release, due for publication in June 2024, is an indie-folk imaginarium and is sure to be a unique twist in Alex’s presentations to date. Hang tight for shows, in the meantime, with Alex Edwards Band!
