Today’s featured artist is originally from just outside Toronto, but since moving to Vancouver and establishing his music roots out west, we now consider him one of our own.  Alex Maher is a Multi-talented multi-instrumentalist (Vocals, Guitar, Beatbox, Sax) loop artist.  For those who don’t know, loop artists are musicians that record layer upon layer of different sound using specific hardware devices called loopers, or phrase samplers, and all are done in real time during a performance.  These devices allow artists like Alex to create elaborate melodies and complex beats to compliment his soothing voice.  Having made a name for himself, Alex has opened for numerous big names in the music industry including Weezer, Sam Roberts, Wide Mouth Mason as well as played together with B.C. staples Kyprios, Daniel Wesley, and Vince Vaccaro.  At times, Alex has five other members who perform with him on stage, the Alex Mahar band which consists of Mary Ancheta on keyboards, Paul Clark on drums, Benjamin Parker on electric guitar, Darren Parris on bass, Jess Vaira on background vocals, and Alex Maher on vocals, alto sax, and electric guitar.  Alex toured in 2017 and promoted his EP Aether and was soon after nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award that same year.  Since then Alex hasn’t stopped, dropping his new EP this year titled Dream Final, a five track list where each song takes you to a different place.  You can mellow out with the relaxing, R&B sounds of the first track titled “Reason” or if something a little more uppity is to your liking, give a listen to track 4 called “Love’s a fire” which is the one I keep coming back to over and over.
