Alex Cousins

Alex Cousins joined Rockabilly Greg "In the Flamingo Lounge" on February 17, 2025.

Alex is a 21st-century musician and performing artist, excelling as a virtuoso cellist. Despite a late start at 14, he soloed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra just three years later, winning the 2014 Young Musicians Scholarship. A 2020 Peabody Conservatory graduate with a Masters in Music, Cello Performance, Alex blends classical training with pioneering work on the electric cello.

After graduating from the Peabody Conservatory, Alex returned to Buffalo where he immersed himself in amplified music, electronics, songwriting, and the electric cello, playing in various local bands from 2022-2024, spanning genres including alternative rock, folk, blues, and pop/indie rock.

A seasoned session musician and educator, Cousins mentors young musicians and has recorded with artists including Robby Takac from the Goo Goo Dolls. He regularly performs in Buffalo Public Schools, demonstrating the versatility of acoustic and electric cellos.

His collaborations include JoAnn Falletta, Marin Alsop, Leon Fleischer, The Eagles, and he has performed at venues including Kleinhans Music Hall, KeyBank Center Arena, SXSW Festival, and the Music is Art Festival.

In 2025, Alex launched "Strings Unbound: An Evening with Alex Cousins," showcasing the electric cello as lead instrument. His seven-piece band will perform reimagined popular music covers from the past 50 years, debuting at The Caz in Buffalo on April 17, 2025.
