City of Strangers

About Me

Blending alternative and hard rock with hints of jazz and blues, City of Strangers is defined by their imaginative brand of rock. City of Strangers may have typical rock band instrumentation (two guitars, a bass, and drums), but their vocal harmonies, rich guitar textures, inventive bass riffs and tight rhythms set them apart. With introspective lyrics, they communicate a message that is personal, yet self-interpretive and universal. United by a passion for live performance and innovative writing, City of Strangers strives to create music that is as fun for the audience as it is for them. With a sound that ranges from mellow to aggressive all in the same song, you're in for a ride when you visit the City of Strangers.
