Xanthe Alexis

Bio

Xanthe Alexis is unmistakable for her powerful voice and enchanting lyrics. The singular aura of magic surrounding her is a reflection, in equal measure, of her birth in the Superstition Mountains in Mesa, Arizona. Her childhood was steeped in the mysticism of blended cultures and gave her a passion and sensitivity for the unseen world of Spirit. She also experienced the effects of being treated as an “other” in America. Finding her own voice in activism, at the peaceful protests for Water Protection at Standing Rock, in her work as a Natural Healer in her community. Her Mother introduced her to the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell and Ella Fitzgerald at an early age, and she began writing songs just before her beloved sister died of heart disease. This gave Xanthe an additional window into the depth of pain and the need for a language in which we can speak the expanse of human emotion.

Alexis is a passionate nurturing force. She continues to work with her mother at their healing center in Colorado Springs. Her critically acclaimed  release in 2020, The Offering, was her gift of healing in the form of song meant for these times as guide and soothing Light, a gift she’s given herself as well with The Offering. New Songs for her upcoming record set for 2025, Lover’s Mark, were featured on No Depression at Folk Alliance 2024

~ No Depression’s Best of August

“Singer-songwriter, Xanthe Alexis, sounds like a recovered postcard from World War II. Her voice is somehow burnt at the edges. Her melodies yellowed from years in the light.”
