Hailing from an undisclosed secure location in the Pacific Northwest, this highly entertaining and talented combo puts their unique and original stamp on American roots music. The band has twice received “Best Contemporary Blues Act” and “Best Electric Guitar” Muddy Awards from the Cascade Blues Association. Their appeal also extends well beyond the blues community with a distinctive style that defies easy classification. It's the sound of Fender amps set up at the crossroads of blues, rockabilly, surf, and vintage R&B. It's the sound of Slim Harpo meets Link Wray, Magic Sam meets Wanda Jackson, and Howlin’ Wolf meets the Mod Squad. It's the sound of raw meets tight.
On guitars The Strange Tones feature Guitar Julie and Suburban Slim. These tasteful players swap rhythm licks and sizzling solos with crowd pleasing stage dynamics. Raised on a steady diet of Jimmy Reed’s blues and Ike and Tina’s R&B, Guitar Julie’s incendiary solos light up the stage while her soulful vocals leave no doubt that every word she sings has got to be true. Suburban Slim, recognized as one of the Northwest’s top guitar players, brings to The Strange Tones’ sound a limitless repertoire of searing solos and rhythmic textures. From greasy blues to surf-a-billy madness his playing always entertains. The big fat groove of The Strange Tones comes from one of the finest rhythm sections around. Bass player Andy Strange and drummer J.D. Huge lock in with a driving force that can only come from years of misspent youth playing together in bands. J.D. Huge propels the band with a steady hand, at times with a subtle shuffle, at others swinging like a man possessed. Andy Strange keeps the band firmly anchored in the roots with the deep throb of a Fender bass. Mr. Strange also spices up the mix with some lowdown harmonica, baritone and bottleneck guitar, and heartfelt vocals.
