About Wreckless Strangers
Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six 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. In 2024, the band was selected for Music Connection’s Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists and Bands list.
The band features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar, lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass, vocals; Austin de Lone on keys, vocals; Mick Hellman on drums, vocals; and Rob Anderson on guitar, vocals. Collectively, members of Wreckless Strangers have worked with Elvis Costello, Miley Cyrus, Peter Rowan, Highway Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, Ismay, Boz Scaggs, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Olivia Wolf, Laurie Lewis, and more! Their new EP, *Blue Sky Fantasy*, was produced by 4x GRAMMY award-winning engineer/producer Dave Way, who has worked with renowned artists including Aretha Franklin, Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Sheryl Crow, and many more. He has dozens of gold and platinum records to his name, along with No. 1 and Top 20 hits.

Anyone looking for a blues-rock outfit that can bring the heart and soul in a big way should get to know these Strangers.
— Music Connection
“A flash-bang guitar solo seals the deal and confirms the Strangers are taking an oratory detour on the highway to hell just for rock n' roll kicks.”
— The Grateful web
