About Alexis:
Alexis Wilkins speaks the truth and owns who she is with her unapologetic storytelling, cowboy-like leaning, and definitive pull from the past. She honors country tradition while adding relevance and current commentary. Arkansas-bred and Nashville-based singer/songwriter and commanding artist; Wilkins struck platinum with her debut single release garnering over 1,000,000 streams across key platforms. With this, came accolades and endorsements from CMT, American Songwriter, Today in Nashville, Sounds Like Nashville, and more. She is no stranger to the big stage having shared it with such superstars as Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, and Parmalee, to name a few. Her style beckons the past with a backbeat of 50s through the70s sassy and driving vocals and melody driven tracks that will surely have the listener wanting to hit a saw-dusted dance floor or bring back the barn dance.
Fast forward, her advocacy of Veterans and Veteran causes is most important to her, working with organizations such as Warrior Rounds, Operation Standdown, Soldier’s Child, singing in the hospital with Musicians On Call and was selected for the honor of singing at memorial services for the VA. She pioneered the first live virtual performance program for Veteran patients and produced and delivered a nationwide 4thof July presentation to the VA hospitals via closed-circuit TV. She says of her work with Warrior Rounds that her retreat days, writing with Veterans, “are her favorite writing sessions.”
Beyond her creative skills in music, she continues to grow her creative interests. In 2021 she launched American Westward, a lifestyle brand that focuses on the western lifestyle, outdoor living and more. When Alexis isn’t in the studio or on the road, she’s hanging out with her family and dog, reading or collecting old books, writing articles, or working on her 1989F-150 Lariat. Really though, she is a force to be reckoned with under the hood or on the stage, get ready to hear some new music, that is truly, for the first time, Alexis through and through.
Set to tour this Fall and into the Spring on tours to be announced, she’s excited to continue to share her country music with people in the country she loves. Wilkins is set to release her next full project at the beginning of 2023 but will release vignettes of her new chapter very soon.
