Alberta-born, Nashville-based country singer-songwriter and military veteran Dallas Alexander is excited to be returning to Edmonton, Alberta to headline a show at the iconic Cook County Saloon on December 6th. Limited VIP packages and general admission tickets for the show available now and can be purchased here.
“We are so excited to play Cook, it’s been a goal of ours for a long while and it’s gonna be a damn good time, good lord willing and the creek don’t rise,” said Dallas Alexander.
In addition to the upcoming show, Dallas will also be releasing his highly-anticipated new single “Meet You At The Riverbank” on November 12th. Produced by Dallas, award-winning country artist Gord Bamford and Johnny Gasparic (MCC Recording Studio), this song brings together the rustic charm of the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin to create a spirited, foot-stomping melody that captures the heart of country and bluegrass traditions.
“The idea for this song came about one night while I was driving home at 2am from a gig. I just remember thinking, I don’t need to go to church in the morning like I used to as a child,” said Alexander. “I then brought that idea to a co-write in Nashville with writers Blue Foley and Trick Savage. It turned out to be a pretty gospel feeling song and definitely one of the happier feeling songs on the forthcoming album.”
Dallas Alexander hails from a rough-and-tumble backwoods upbringing, having been raised on a Fishing Lake Métis Settlement in Northern Alberta. After recently retiring from the Canadian Armed Forces Special Operations (JTF2) following an impressive 17 year career, Dallas is now focused on carving his way in the country music industry by blending his Métis roots with stories from his military career.
Inspired by country legends such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Jamey Johnson, Dallas also finds strong influence in modern artists like Tyler Childers, Cody Jinks and the Turnpike Troubadours. He has graced the stage at notable festivals such as the Cavendish Beach Music Festival and previously opened for award-winning Canadian country music star, Gord Bamford on the Eastern leg of his Canadian Dirt Tour.
Now making waves in Nashville, Dallas has had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry’s top talent for his upcoming debut studio album including Buddy Owens, Justin Lantz, Blue Foley and Trick Savage. With a commitment to complete creative control, his distinct writing and vocal style set him apart and his passion for music drives him forward, as he continues to hone his craft and share his journey through song.
Dallas will also be bringing his powerful music and gritty-outlaw vibe to additional Canadian stages in Alberta and Saskatchewan later this month. See the full list of show dates below.
