Event Description

Alexander Gallant / Princess Towers

ALEXANDER GALLANT
Alexander Gallant is a folk singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the tradition of A Singer With A Guitar, Alexander’s songs are simple, direct, and have one foot planted firmly on the ground. Alexander believes in song as the purest method of communication, and uses folk styling to deliver his musings on the profound, absurd, and the blue. Alexander follows the path left open to him by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, etc.

PRINCESS TOWERS
Princess Towers take their name from a 1970s apartment building widely derided as Kingston’s biggest eyesore. Like their namesake, they aim to make audacious design choices and embrace the awkwardness of things in music. Their 2022 debut “Remastered in Stereo” centers on a humble cast of mundane thoughts and feelings, and presents a scale model of their playful approach to folk and country stylings. Following a release tour in fall 2022 and a soundtrack collaboration with Montreal’s Elkabong Theatre in January, Princess Towers released “Freak Fairy Tales” in 2023, a new collection of songs about fantastic ordinary things.
