Alex Shenton is the frontman and songwriter for the Saskatoon based
rock band Bastard Poetry. Born and raised in rural Pincher Creek
(Alberta), Alex was always a prolific poet who found himself frequently
lost in music. Working as a concrete finisher to pay bills, he spent
several years chiselling poetry into acoustic songs, as he also cut his
teeth in metal, rock, and blues as a bassist. When he finally had the
confidence he sought out a group to lead, using his poetry as a
foundation for a full band to build upon.
