Jam-oriented rock band or rock-oriented jam band? Who the folk cares - Strangefolk is back! Anyone who attended the early years of Gathering of The Vibes fondly remembers mainstage staples including Deep Banana Blackout, Dark Star Orchestra, and, you guessed it, Strangefolk.
Performances are few and far between, and long-time fans will get to share new experiences with the core-four that arose from the early Northeast jamband scene right in your backyard. Strangefolk’s strengths are brotherly-like harmonies and upbeat bluesy grooves. Clean guitar hooks, tight, earnest harmonies, and contemplative lyrics are Strangefolk’s stock and trade.
“The Warehouse at Fairfield Theatre Company is one of my favorite places to play. The sound system, lights and sight lines make for a great show for the audience and the band. It’s not something most people think about when going to a show but the staff there and the backstage environment is so welcoming it puts you in a good headspace to perform. The Gathering of The Vibes was a tentpole event in Strangefolk early years and has made Fairfield part of our band DNA. All the ingredients are in place for a great night of music.” - Reid Genauer
