Alex Clare was born in South London in 1981.
He put out two albums, 'The Lateness of the Hour' in 2011 and 'Three Hearts' in 2014. Songs like 'Tell Me What You Need' and 'Up All Night' show his mix of folk and electronic sounds. He works with a backing band that has included musicians like Mark Stevens on drums and Ian Button on bass.
In 2013, Clare was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that interrupted his performing. He got treatment and eventually returned to playing shows. A few years later, his support for the BDS movement led to some canceled dates and criticism from parts of his audience.
