Dear Indugu

About Me

Dear Indugu began as the solo project of singer/songwriter Jesse Strickman and has evolved into a full band with a surprisingly dynamic sound that will captivate and inspire listeners. Jesse's intensely personal lyrics hold themes such as love, loss, nostalgia, depression, personal identity, honesty, innocence, and a search for inner truth. With their versatile sound, passionate presence, and commitment to originality and musicianship, the bay area based band sends a powerful message.
Upcoming show in San Francisco!!

Thanks for coming to the Ashkenaz show!! You are all so cool! If it weren't for fans....I would still be writing songs, BUT they would go unheard. And sharing is a cool thing. Remember how cool it was...
