Genuine son of the sea, Alex Richard hails from the Magdalen Islands in Atlantic Canada. He founded Bodh'aktan over a decade ago and has gone on to charm crowds all over Canada, Europe and the United States. Having recorded 9 albums since 2011, the band has multiple collaborations, working with Fiddlers Green (Germany), Paddy Moloney (Ireland), Matmatah (France), Alan Doyle, and the Ennis sisters (Canada). Alex started a solo act in 2019, and it's not uncommon to catch him in pubs, sharing his love for celtic, folk, and Americana music.
