Alkyone (SXSW)
Discover the enchanting sounds of Alkyone, a Greek singer-songwriter from the misty mountains of northern Greece, at this official SXSW event!
Born amid rivers and forests, she started as a classical pianist at age six, then wove her father's folk influences into a unique blend of indie songwriting, cinematic vibes, and Mediterranean-Balkan folk. Singing in English and Greek, her lyrics dive into memory, growing up, and our bond with the world—delivered in intimate, emotionally charged concerts.
She's graced stages across Europe like Konzerthaus and Tonhalle, collabed with Vincent Moon for La Blogotheque, dropped her acclaimed debut Exit Sign in 2023, and has Small Philosophies coming in late spring 2026. Her name? A nod to a dream where she soared as a bird!
Expect folk magic with indie pop twists—perfect for fans of heartfelt, folklore-infused tunes. Check badges, wristbands, and priority access for an unforgettable night.
