ALPINE BANK SHOWDOWN TOWN
KIND HEARTED STRANGERS | Thursday, July 13, 2023
Hailing from all corners of the country, Kind Hearted Strangers began in the foothills of Colorado — where an impromptu open mic performance by songwriter Marc Townes quickly evolved into something much bigger. With genre bending improvisations from lead guitarist Kevin Hinder and bassist/vocalist Ace Engfer, Kind Hearted Strangers have become a dynamic full band capable of bridging the gap between all out rock ‘n’ roll and their harmony-driven acoustic roots. The addition of drummer Eggy Gorman has seen the band grow into a road-driven force, hungry for live music, delivering high-energy rock shows across the country.
The debut record “East // West” (2021) explores both the sonic & stylistic origins of the band while giving listeners a taste of the group’s diverse influences.
Released April 7, 2023, the band’s second LP entitled “Now.here” features a collaboration with visual artist/painter Dylan Lynch. This immersive project found the band working in a shared Richmond, Virginia, warehouse space for five days.
With no prepared material, the artists intentionally put pressure on themselves to create and deliver a Live Concert & Art Exhibition at the end of the week. The resulting album contains brand new material that was recorded live with the same raw energy and passion Kind Hearted Strangers have been delivering across the country during their busiest year of touring to date.
