Indie-folk fiddle-singer Aleksi Campagne combines his powerful voice with rich songwriting, all while accompanying himself on the violin. His original music blends folk songwriting with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin, and looping-effect pedals.
“ALEKSI CAMPAGNE FINESSED ONE OF THE MOST MUSICALLY AMBITIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE YEAR."
- PAUL CORBY, ROOTS MUSIC CANADA
“IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE A SONG LIKE ALEKSI CAMPAGNE’S “SPARKLERS & GIN” HAS CAPTIVATED US THE WAY THIS ONE HAS.”
- LOST IN THE NORDICS
“HIS LIVE SET FUSES TRADITIONAL-STYLE FIDDLING WITH AN ALMOST INDIE-ROCK MUSICAL AESTHETIC."
- TOM COXWORTH’S 5 FAVOURITE ACTS OF FOLK ALLIANCE 2023
Equally intriguing is his fiddle singing. Fiddle singing is an extremely difficult technique.
While singing and playing the guitar or the piano together is common and doable, doing so with a fiddle takes an extreme amount of skill. Not only must the player navigate the coordination of playing the chords and singing the melodies, but they must do so with the fiddle quite literally jammed into their throat. The position of the chin on the violin also distorts the face which affects the singing.
Campagne’s ease with fiddle singing is easily the most impressive aspect of his performance.
His music feels nostalgic, groovy, and hopeful all at once.
