Alex Dupree

Venue: St David's Bethell Hall Alex Dupree is a poet and songwriter living in Austin, TX. In the mid 00s, he founded the Trapdoor Band and released three albums under that name before switching to the Idyl moniker in 2009. After two more albums as Idyl, Dupree moved to California to study and teach poetry at UC-Irvine, but with songwriting never far from his mind. He continued to hone his craft writing country songs for LA bands Mister Paradise and Dawn & Dupree. And despite a deep love for country music, Dupree’s work never fits squarely in that category, absorbing additional influences from the likes of Laurie Anderson, Arthur Russell, and John Cale.
