Alex MacNeil has been kicking around Canada’s indie rock scene for a while now, from the foggy edges of Nova Scotia to the permafrost fringe of Dawson City, Yukon. Along the way, he’s fronted Alexander & The Great Ones, backed up a few pals (including Willie Stratton and Braden Lam), and written a pile of songs that manage to be both clever and heartfelt without trying too hard.
Since landing in Dawson, Alex has become a key player in the town’s scrappy, art-forward music scene—bringing jangly guitars, off-kilter charm, and a touch of East Coast wit to the northern stage. Whether playing solo or with his band, Alex MacNeil and The Revenants, he blends pop sensibility with garage grit, and delivers it all with a raised eyebrow and a full heart.
