Wreckless Strangers will kick off the new year with a high-energy dinner show at Rancho Nicasio—the legendary West Marin venue—on Saturday, January 11. The band’s 2024 highlights include the release of their celebrated EP, Blue Sky Fantasy, being named to Music Connection Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2024, and performances at Sweetwater Music Hall, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, and more. As the band looks ahead to 2025, they are excited to bring their signature sound back to Rancho Nicasio. The show starts at 7:30 pm, with dinner reservations (not included in the ticket price) available from 6 pm to 8 pm.
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 added flavor and unpredictability. With soaring vocal harmonies and burning instrumental improvisation, framed by concise and poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers 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 and lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass and vocals; Austin de Lone on keys and vocals; Mick Hellman on drums and vocals; and Rob Anderson on guitar and vocals. Collectively, members of Wreckless Strangers have worked with artists such as Elvis Costello, Miley Cyrus, Peter Rowan, Highway Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, Ismay, Boz Scaggs, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Olivia Wolf, Laurie Lewis, and more. Their new EP, Blue Sky Fantasy, was produced by 4x GRAMMY Award-winning engineer and 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 others. Way has dozens of gold and platinum records to his name, along with numerous No. 1 and Top 20 hits.
