Wreckless Strangers is a collective of 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 vocal harmonies 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 features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass vocals; Mick Hellman on drums vocals; Rob Anderson on guitar vocals; and special guest keyboardists. Collectively members of Wreckless Strangers have worked with Miley Cyrus Peter Rowan Highway Wolf Ismay Boz Scaggs Fabulous Thunderbirds Olivia Wolf Laurie Lewis and more! Their latest EP “Blue Sky Fantasy” was produced by four-time Grammy award-winning engineer/producer Dave Way who has worked with renowned artists including Aretha Franklin Tracy Chapman Prince Stevie Wonder Michael Jackson Sheryl Crow and many more. Blue Sky Fantasy is a sonic adventure that showcases the band’s evolution with a cohesive blend of tracks that highlight their range and artistic growth.
