Alexander Wolfe with Sting Quartet Live at Christchurch

Alexander Wolfe is bringing his unique strain of alt-folk to Christchurch on 23rd August. Playing songs from his 4 solo albums backed by a string quartet, this promises to be a magical evening not to be missed. Support on the night will come from pedal steel guitarist Joe Harvey-Whyte.

Alexander Wolfe's debut album “Morning Brings a Flood” was released in 2011. Critics were universal in their praise, Q magazine & Uncut both gave the album 4 stars and the New York Post declared it “ The most beautiful album we’ve heard in years. Period".

Wolfe raised his profile in 2012 with his second album “Skeletons”, which was a more somber affair written and recorded in a 2 week period during a break up. The result is as bleak as it is beautiful, an album dealing with grief and heartbreak.

Then followed 2016’s double album of elegantly layered folk rock ‘From The Shallows’, and then his most ambitious album to date, 2020’s Little death, garnering critical acclaim across the board, and sharing stages with the likes of Laura Marling, Feist, Paul Weller & Vampire Weekend.

His forthcoming narrative, concept album ‘Everythinglessness’, is a semi-autobiographical story about a boy growing up in Lewisham struggling with mental health issues and masculinity. It is slated for release in 2025 and promises to be his most challenging and most personal work yet.
