Unapologetically original, uncompromising in their vision, Edmonton-based El Niven and The Alibi deliver music which is both bittersweet and and rank rock ’n’ roll. This longstanding Canadian duo – El Niven and drummer Jeff Burwash – inhabit a working-class world of tough days, long nights and sweet times. With a natural bent for the lyrical, their songs are a resolute study of addiction, sanctions, forgiveness and hard-love delivered with high intensity and raging honesty. Rooted in rock ’n roll, with a nod to Southern grunge, El Niven and the Alibi’s music is infused with a healthy dose of whiskey-laden Country, resulting in what they dub “Dangerous-Western.” Their music comes at you with the the dark force of a prairie storm and leaves you wondering what happened as the clouds retreat and silence settles.
Playing across Canada, U.S, The UK and South America, El Niven and the Alibi has performed with Big Wreck, U.S.S.,Grandson and The Arkells.
After receiving a Creative B.C. grant to record a new album in 2022, El Niven and the Alibi worked with Producer Mitch Merrett over the winter of 2023 to record 12 new songs. The first single, Cigarettes hit #24 on Canadian Active Rock Radio and the second single, Unleashed, is featured on Much Music and Sirius FM (IS THIS X?) as well as getting radio play across Canada.
