Jeff Strahan Band -

Here is what the Texas Music Journal says

It bears repeating: Strahan is a musician’s musician. The bands that he puts together play kick-ass, great time blues rock. He’s having fun, the band’s having fun, he loves what he’s doing and if you can’t hear that in his music, you might need a hearing aid. It is pure joy-ride wild fun: think of a Saturday night bar packed with people ready to drink, dance and party. His guitar slinging style reminds us why we love electric guitars so much.

You can hear many different influences in his music: hot slide work, gospel blues ballads, straight ahead rock, chicken funk blues, and when he plays piano, a little stride, a little straight ahead southern rock, some barrelhouse blues, and a whole lotta jumping jehosephat, like Jerry Lee Lewis. It all makes for a great time.

First, a big THANK YOU to all you 'STRAY FANS' for your wonderful support and undying belief in our music. I appreciate your notes, your attendance at shows, and your spreading the word about our music more than you can imagine! I'm gonna start putting up free songs and merch for everyone who has become part of the team. To become a part of this family, sign up below and check out the Stray Fan page.

I'm working hard on new songs for the next Album. I hope to have the recording phase rolling by April and look for the release this summer. I'm trying hard to get back to solid roots music. Stuff like "Hard to be Cowboy", Del Rio, etc. We often get pigeon holed as a "blues" band which is really not accurate. We play some blues for sure but we also venture way beyond any blues structures. I think we sound like Little Feat one minute and then Marshall Tucker the next. Sometimes like Hendrix and sometimes like Stevie. Some times like Cash and then Haggard. There are Allman Brother overtones, Warren Haynes, and even Los Lonely Boys.

I love to hear all those spicy ingredients that have been planted within me over the years come to the surface and add to the flavor my music. I want this new album to be a true reflection of who we are musically and honestly. The real deal. Not trying to sound like what's popular. Not chasing any particular direction for acceptance. Not trying to fit in a "genre" of music. Just honest music from the soul. A melting pot of American Music from field hollars to jazzy overtones, from Cash to Kiss, Willie to Mayer, you get the picture.
