Alexander Gallant is a folk singer-songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a one-of-one performer, his lush fingerpicking, refreshingly original poetry, and unpredictable yet delightfully sardonic stage banter has earned him his reputation as one of the best storytellers from the Atlantic provinces. “Your favourite songwriter's favourite songwriter”, Gallant is adept at that old showbusiness trick - make them laugh and make them cry. Gallant's unique perspective has cemented him as one of the most original voices in folk singer-songwriting in decades. Always a gleeful discovery to the uninitiated, Alexander is often seen perking up the shoulders of an audience, and winning over any room. From front parlours and folk clubs to theaters and celebrity secret societies, Alexander Gallant has delighted audiences all around eastern and central Canada.

As a part of the growing artists hub and gathering space at 45 Portland St in Dartmouth, Alexander has gained notoriety supporting and working with Joel Plaskett on his secret Window Inn performances, frequently performing to sold out crowds alongside many notable musicians such as Charlotte Cornfield, Mo Kenney, Jenn Grant, Rose Cousins, Kim Harris, Stuart Legere, and more.
