built around personal storytelling and her connection to an audience she’s still discovering.
Alexandra Kay made waves at Vibes Event Center on Sunday, November 2, 2025, as part of her Second Wind: The Tour. The performance followed the release of her latest record, Second Wind, which arrived this fall through her independent imprint. The tour, named after the album, has been built around personal storytelling and her connection to an audience she’s still discovering. (Rolling Stone, 2025).
Kay’s appearance in San Antonio marked one of the later stops on the tour’s fall leg. The setlist reflected her current body of work, built around songs that highlight the resilience and growth that shaped the record. In a recent MusicRow interview, she described Second Wind as a chapter about regaining momentum after periods of uncertainty — a sentiment that extended through the night’s pacing and tone.
The Illinois-born artist has continued to expand her reach without major-label backing, building a following through social platforms and direct touring. Her official site highlights the independence that has defined her approach, balancing the reach of a national audience with a grounded, self-managed career path.
Chase McDaniel opened the evening, supporting Kay across a portion of the Second Wind tour. His performance maintained a strong contrast while fitting within the contemporary country structure that framed the night.
The San Antonio stop underscored the tour’s understated concept — an artist touring on her own terms, supported by a community that’s followed her rise in real time. Second Wind isn’t just a title, but a reflection of how Kay continues to navigate the modern country landscape on her own path forward.
