Alex The Astronaut is set to headline this year’s Cairns Festival
Alex The Astronaut is set to headline this year’s Cairns Festival Alex the Astronaut is a wholesome artist who’s turned her story and struggles into a vulnerable new body of work.
An unforgettably original lyricist, the music of Australian singer/songwriter Alex the Astronaut cycles through a series of radiantly detailed slices of life. She’s set to tour her latest LP, ‘How to Grow a Sunflower Underwater,’ around the country – including as a headliner at this year’s Cairns Festival.
Alex documents moments of both the seemingly mundane from a haircut, a therapy session, a trip to the beach and to the supermarket to then utterly life-changing experiences as a caregiver along with the PTSD that followed and her recent diagnosis with autism. The 26-year-old artist imbues her songs with equal parts self-awareness and sensitivity, imagination and idiosyncratic humour.
In its intimate exploration of post-traumatic growth, the result is a body of work affirming Alex as a truly essential songwriter, capable of transforming the way we view ourselves and the world around us.
Tickets are available from Ticketlink.
And great news – Oasis Media have two double passes to giveaway to the ALEX THE ASTRONAUT album launch at Tanks Art Centre on 2 September 2022.
