The Stragglyrs

Original songs and live performances featuring harmony vocals and rootsy, guitar-driven folk-rock and country rock have been the hallmark of the Stragglyrs since the South Bay band formed in late 2000. Members are Larry Ingenthron of Fremont on 6- and 12-string acoustic rhythm and lead guitar and vocals; Bill Mishler of San Jose on drums, harmonica and vocals; Chris Purdum of Sunnyvale on bass, rhythm guitar, flute and vocals; and Autumn Rose of Milpitas on banjo and vocals. The band has an ensemble approach with all members writing and singing in two-to-four-part harmony. The Stragglyrs have released seven albums (including the critically acclaimed "Country Project" in 2011) featuring 101 original songs. They have sold thousands of CDs and have played hundreds of live shows.

We can play small settings with little or no amplification or medium-large settings with full PA and amplification. We can provide a medium-level PA if necessary, or we can work with a house system, or some combination.

If using a system other than ours, we require
4 vocal mics inputs (We can bring mics if necessary)
1 banjo mic input (We can bring mics if necessary)
2 acoustic guitar DI inputs (We can bring the boxes)
1 bass DI input (We can bring the box)

If a larger hall, it would also be good to have
drum kit mics if a really large hall, or to suit.
