A new band called Kind Stranger is making its debut at Beers and Banjos this Friday, May 24, 2013. The group consists of some
of the top Irish traditional musicians in our local area. How do I know this? Because I’m fortunate enough to get
to sit in with most of them every 2nd
and 4th Wednesday evening at an informal Irish session at Rosie
Connolly’s pub in the Bottom. Sessions are different than gigs though. In a performance setting
with nothing to hold them back these these cream-of-the-crop
players should really be able to shine.

I’m still not exactly sure what Kind Stranger will
sound like. The only description given on the Facebook event page
is ‘traditional Irish Music and a few originals’. I do know that most, if not all, of the band members have
a musical life beyond Irish trad, so there could be quite an eclectic mix in
store. We’ll find out on Friday I suppose.
Kind Stranger consists of:
Andy Cleveland - Fiddle
Jeff Brown - Banjo (and Beer!)
Glenn Sutor - Bouzouki, Bodhran, and Vocals
Sean Sutor - Button Accordion, Whistle and
Vocals
Paul Willson - Guitar and Vocals
