20 Questions With Strange Americans

Estimated read time 7 min read

Strange Americans have created a smoldering sound that is a well thought out blend of Alt-Country, Indie Rock, and Americana, by cherry picking some of the best elements of acclaimed acts like Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, and The Band, to influence their songwriting. Earlier this week they were kind enough to take some time to answer our 20 Questions as they prepped for a big show on Friday night at The Hi-Dive with a couple of our other favorite local acts, Mosey West and Grub Street Writer.

Estimated read time 4 min read

Andy Palmer and his band Grub Street Writer threw a CD Release Party for Palmer’s new record “Sometime Around” at the Walnut Room. The band was tight and their music was presented in exquisite detail. It was great to see Palmer’s vision come together so smoothly as he combined the subtleties of guitarist Dan Kern’s Jam and Jazz influenced Les Paul licks, with his own raw acoustic style. Both Kern and Palmer were on fire, and crowd loved it!
