Unseen Strangers
Toronto, ON
The Unseen Strangers are a progressive bluegrass/folk formerly called The Strangeboys. After discovering bluegrass music while in University, these longtime friends fell in love with the genre and formed a band. Over the years, The Strangeboys have ambitiously cultivated a musical identity shaped by a love for traditional bluegrass, the limitless barrage of contemporary musical influences, and a relentlessly curious sense of humour. Eagerly soaking up the knowledge and style of past masters and mischief-makers, the boys draw from the beeps and buzzes of the modern world to create an imaginative, energetic brand of acoustic music that is unmistakably their own.
