Alex Currie is a solo performer from Nova Scotia, now living in Ontario, where the air feels different without salt in it. He carries a steady, unshakable longing for the ocean and the idea of home. His songs move like water, looping through childhood memories and present-day worries, shaped by the quiet honesty of Phil Elverum and the unpredictable freedom of Beck or Neil Young. Alongside guitar and voice, he often draws on field recordings and natural sounds, letting wind, water, and distant spaces become part of the songs themselves. A single father in his forties, Alex reopened an old chapter when he pulled his guitar from the closet and began writing again. Instead of being overtaken by sadness, he let music take its place. The result feels like someone feeling their way forward, listening for familiar sounds, and trusting the tide to carry them where it will.
