Alexandre is energetic in his assault of the blues, leaving everything on stage and emitting a palpable telling of the blues through smoky vocals.
With Dwyane Deck on the axe and Jeffrey Laird on drums, the Winnipeg blues-man ignited the opening show of the Vernon Folk-Roots Society’s 2017/18 season, paving the way for a string of heartfelt grooves.
