The Strangers just got the invite to play at the Lark Tavern on Friday, July 4th to help celebrate everything good about America through the magic of country blues, honytonk and sweet beer. Our friends Happy Balky and the Good Livin’ will be along for the ride, as well as, some special guests. Come on down after the fireworks at the Plaza and be sure to drink and yell alot. We like that.

Last Saturday night we played over at Red Square which was a great experience as always. In addition to the fantastic sound provided by High Peaks sound and seeing Francis and Tiffany again, we also received a treat in the form of a large group of Germans from a local cultural exchange program. They danced, yelled and frolicked, proving once again that Germans love David Hasselhoff ……and the Red Haired Strangers. Also, thanks to a slightly saucey Palatypus for sharing the bill with us.
