Alex Hand is a premier guitarist on the Texas scene, regularly performing with jazz, Celtic traditional, classic rock and gypsy swing groups. He graduated from the University of North Texas jazz performance program with a masters in 2021 and continues to perform and teach music in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He studied traditional Balkan music in Bulgaria and Turkey in 2015 and released two self-produced albums of that music with San Francisco jazz players. Hand’s third album, All Hands Up (2023), features five original tunes and one wild, spooky take on the classic American song, “St. James Infirmary.” As a composer, he blends jazz improvisation and harmony with two decades of experience with various European folk styles and his love for baroque and romantic-era composers like Couperin, Debussy and Chopin. Alex debuted on television as an on-screen guitarist and on the recorded soundtrack to 1883, the prequel to the Yellowstone series in 2021.
