Description
The Unseen Strangers have ambitiously cultivated a musical identity shaped by good old-fashioned bluegrass, the limitless barrage of contemporary musical influences, and a relentlessly curious sense of humour. They draw from the beeps and buzzes of the modern world to create an imaginative, energetic brand of acoustic music that is unmistakably their own. The band seamlessly unites traditional music with contemporary rock/pop covers while still writing and performing original material as well. The Unseen Strangers stage show is unforgettable and a staple on the Canadian festival circuit. The band not only plays festivals but weddings, corporate events, night clubs, theatres, college events, and fundraisers to name a few!
The Strangers' debut release won the 2009 Music Nova Scotia Award for "Country/Bluegrass Recording of the Year". In 2010 the band released "Time Travel", a concept album uniting ancient sounds from the roots of string bands and bluegrass to the most contemporary and futurist styles.
