Originally formed as an acoustic duo “Strange
Folk” in 1991, Strangefolk
(now one word) added bass and drums within a year and took to playing the
bars in and around the vibrant musical community of Burlington,
Vermont. Strangefolk has since built a national grass-roots following
based on the strength of two studio CD releases (Lore
and Weightless in Water) as well as a
rigorous touring schedule, playing roughly 200 gigs a year. Today Strangefolk
headlines festivals, clubs and theaters nationwide, and touts a mailing
list of over 20,000. Their latest release, A
Great Long While (produced by Nile Rodgers) showcases the band’s
depth, variety and continued growth as songwriters and musicians.
At the heart of Strangefolk’s songwriting is a seamless blend of narrative
lyrical content and inventive melody. In fact, the band’s name refers
to the layering of unusual guitar sounds, time sequences and melodies over
a singer-songwriter styled lyrical foundation. Rock, folk, blues and bluegrass
influences converge to create an instantly recognizable sound which keeps
Strangefolk’s listeners moving from start to finish. When punctuated
with Strangefolk’s trademark three-part harmonies and soaring lead
guitar, the band’s unique songwriting ability develops a natural avenue
for the band to extend themselves in a live setting. The result is one of
the more gratifying live music experiences around. |
