Bio
"Astoundlingly Beautiful." Mark Rheaume, CBC National Playlist Director, Host of Fresh Air
The Strip are a wonderfully quirky band who are attracting the attention their eclectic music so richly deserves. Offering
up the rarely paired alto sax with 5-string banjo, alongside sibling-esque harmonies, grit and grace, they are a band
who are rightfully making their mark on the roots circuit.
Born of the busker trade, these hard-working songsters have carefully plotted their course over the past five years:
releasing an enthusiastically-received debut, aptly titled, Stick To Your Guns, which speared them forward, ramping up
to a dizzying 100-show/year schedule. Also true to the band's name, the new disc 'Long gone Lonesome Lullabies' lays bare a stripped 'n' pure sound
that one would hear live on those long 'n' lonesome journeys.
The Strip ranked #1 on CIUT 89.5 (Canada's largest campus/community radio station!) in January 2009, and #9 on the National Earshot folk/roots charts.
