Alexandra King has spent most of her life behind a microphone, guitar in hand, playing pubs across New York and Ireland, where her raw, honest songwriting comes alive. After overcoming a life-altering accident, it was her deep love for music that helped her pull through. She eventually moved to Nashville, where she dove into co-writing sessions with a wide range of collaborators. Her debut album, Across the Pond (out Friday, June 5), is a genre-bending folk and country project rooted deeply in her Irish-American heritage, bringing together three places that helped shape her — New York, Nashville, and Ireland — each with its own heartbreak, grit, and soul. The record combines pub-born ballads, Americana warmth, and modern country sensibility while honoring Alexandra’s upbringing, celebrating growth, and showcasing a voice unafraid to claim both worlds as her own.
