Event
Elias Alexander (Ramblxr)
Dinner menu available at 5pm (not included in ticket price) | All ages welcome till 9pm Elias Alexander is a producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who's work weaves together traditional music, electronic production, and songwriting around themes of belonging, connectedness, and liberation. His new project "Ramblxr" combines Elias's instrumental playing (bagpipes, fiddle, guitar, percussion, whistles and synths) with his catchy, pop-influenced dance production. "Ramblxr" reaches into traditional music to find something ancient, and uses it to build connection in our fractured world. Elias grew up in Ashland Oregon, where he cultivated deep roots in Scottish traditional music, studying bagpipes, fiddle, whistle, and guitar from a young age. In 2009 he relocated to the East Coast, where he made a name for himself as one of America's finest exponents of traditional Scottish music. He spent the later half of the 10s touring with numerous bands, including the Bywater Band, Soulsha, Seven Nations, MAC and Fàrsan, and playing some of the worlds top Celtic festivals, including Celtic Connections (Glasgow, Scotland) and Celtic Colours (Cape Breton, NS). Elias also has worked with many of the greats of Celtic music, including Alasdair Fraser, Carlos Nuñez, and Gillebrìde MacMillan, and given lectures at Harvard and MIT. When the pandemic changed everything, he turned his attention to songwriting and production. The results of two years of seclusion in home studios in LA and Portland, he is poised to release an electronic/traditional fusion project called Ramblxr, and a pop music EP coming sometime later in 2022. The first track of the Ramblxr project "Francis (Let it Grxw)" came out Friday May 13th 2022. Tickets $12 ADV, $15 Doors, $5 Student (with ID)
