Alex Isley - When The City Sleeps

On June 5, 2026 at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Alex Isley brings When The City Sleeps, an intimate take on her R&B rooted in layered harmonies and unhurried grooves. Raised between New Jersey and Los Angeles and shaped by gospel, jazz and soul, the singer, songwriter and producer has built a sound where the voice leads, supported by discreet rhythms and warm keyboards.

From her self-released debut The Love/Art Memoirs to a steady run of EPs, Alex Isley has honed a minimal, detail‑driven approach, sharpened further through her work with producer Jack Dine. That partnership culminated in Marigold (2022), a collection that captured her fondness for closeness and space in the mix.

On stage, she plays with nuance: stacked vocals that glide, patient tempos that breathe, melodies that unfold without rush. The set threads highlights from Marigold with earlier cuts and new material, keeping the focus on tone, phrasing and feel. A late-night mood, clear and understated, perfectly fit for Danforth Music Hall.
