Alex Hallbom (trio)

Artist Website

The Alex Hallbom Trio brings a fresh, swinging approach to jazz standards, rooted in the timeless sounds of upright bass, archtop guitar, and violin. Led by bassist and vocalist Alex Hallbom, the group offers a distinctive take on classics from the Great American Songbook, blending vintage charm with crisp, contemporary flair.

Alex’s steady, melodic bass lines and smooth vocal delivery form the core of the trio’s sound. A seasoned performer, he has cut his teeth in both the Vancouver and Dawson City music scenes, backing acclaimed acts such as The Burying Ground, Petunia and the Vipers, Big Fancy and the Shiddy Cowboys, Joe Abbott, and Jared Klok — along with countless country and western swing side projects.

Drawing inspiration from icons like Nat King Cole, Charlie Christian, and Bob Wills, the trio blends jazz, swing, and vintage country influences into a style that’s both classic and refreshingly original.
