Meet The Strangers

Dan Ray

World's Okayest Guitar Player. You've seen him around the Triad with The Clanky Lincolns, Viva La Muerte, Disaster Recovery Band, and with Taylor in Coldiron Ray. Dan hosts Live Music Pub Trivia, and co-hosts the Cover Band Confidential podcast, with over 40k listens in the last year.

Tayler Coldiron

Big trouble in a small package! Vocals, fiddle, guitar. A founding New Stranger, you've also seen her with Gypsy Danger, Viva La Muerte in and in her acoustic duo with Dan, Coldiron Ray.

Zoe Hardee

Years of classical training wrapped around a heart of pure punk rock. A recent grad of UNC-Greensboro's jazz program, Zoe keeps our bass lines spicy! When she's not doing that, she melts faces with her post-punk band Saphron.

Charlie Smith

The rhythm educator! Here to school us all in the funk! A veteran of the stage, Charlie's played with the Old Pros Big Band of New River VA, The Front-Page Band of Winston-Salem, Seabreeze Beach Band from Burlington, and the Bad Habit Band from Lexington.
