Wreckless Strangers return to the iconic Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA, on Thursday, November 21, to celebrate the release of their new EP, Blue Sky Fantasy. The band will perform fan favorites alongside new tracks from the EP, which debuted on September 27 and is available now on all streaming platforms. Wreckless Strangers have soared to new heights with this release. Produced by the legendary 4x Grammy award-winning engineer and producer Dave Way, this latest collection is a sonic adventure that showcases the band’s evolution with a cohesive blend of tracks that highlight their range and artistic growth. Blue Sky Fantasy offers a dynamic mix of powerful guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and stand-out vocals.
Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability. With soaring harmony vocals and burning instrumental improvisation framed in concise and poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers seek to honor and carry forth the brand of free-spirited musical fun and adventure that defines the Bay Area.
The band includes Amber Morris (vocals), David Noble (lead guitar, vocals), Joshua Zucker (bass), Austin de Lone (keys, vocals), Mick Hellman (drums, vocals), and Rob Anderson (guitar). Collectively, members of Wreckless Strangers have worked with Elvis Costello, Miley Cyrus, Peter Rowan, Highway Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, Ismay, Boz Scaggs, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Olivia Wolf, Laurie Lewis, and more! Joining the Wreckless Strangers for the EP Release Party will be special guests Mike Rinta, Ryan Scott, Johnny Bones and Vicki Randle.
Opening the show will be Beau Beau Band, featuring members of The California Honeydrops, Supertramp, and Royal Jelly Jive. Known for their upbeat, groovy, and danceable sound, combining roots rhythm and blues, funk, soul, and New Orleans music.
