Like a late summer bloom casting shadows in the sunlight, Alexis Mahler’s singular voice creates moments that are precious and delicate; heart-breaking and soul warming.

Michigan-made, and classically trained, Mahler has made a musical home for herself in Portland, Oregon. Quieting rooms with her intimate blend of classical, jazz, and folk - she has endeared herself to audiences across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Her music contains thoughtful, elegant strings layered with memorable, and sweetly delivered vocal melodies. In her own words: “Music should be connective, accessible, expressive, expansive, often imperfect, healing - a release”.

Between teaching private music lessons and performing, Mahler can be found doing session work for songwriters, both local and long-distance. Over the years she has collaborated with Matt Costa, Sleater-Kinney, Mayer Hawthorne, Jacob Miller, Shook Twins, Cyrus Nabipoor, Integer, Whitney, Erisy Watt, Hanna Haas, and many others.
