Teague Alexy & The Common Thread

Award-winning Duluth-based musician, author, and storyteller Teague Alexy has a new six-piece band. Teague Alexy & The Common Thread perform songs from their new album coming in 2023 as well as songs from Teague’s extensive back catalog. Teague has long been a stalwart of the Minnesota music scene as well as one of the founding brothers in the national-touring Americana act Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank. Teague’s guitar, harmonica, and songwriting are clearly influenced by his home in Duluth, his childhood in New Jersey, and his life as a traveling musical hobo that includes lengthy excursions through blues, reggae, Irish music, bluegrass, hip-hop, country and folk. Teague's storytelling also has deeper roots to his Irish ancestry. A ‘Teague’ in ancient Ireland was a traveling storytelling poet. Teague’s book, The New Folklore: Lyrical Tales for Dreamers & Thinkers, was published by North Star Press in 2017.
