Well-Known Strangers is South-East Wisconsin’s cello infused alternative pop/rock band that has taken the Milwaukee/Chicago scene by surprise and has garnered significant praise for their unique sound and amazing live performances. Centered on a powerful and emotive female vocals and stately cello, and reinforced by strong songwriting and incredible musicality, Well-Known Strangers has a unique sound that is reminiscent of familiar pop-rock of the ‘90s while being expressively groundbreaking and melodically rich. From their lyrical hooks to melodic counterpoint between guitars and cello, Well-
Known Strangers is able to craft an experience that draws the listener into their songcraft.

With Joe and Betsy as the main songwriters, the band’s creative spark is enhanced collectively through the experience and musical knowledge of the other members. The sonic diversity generated by this impressive conglomerate of musicians is what allows Well-Known Strangers to stand out and shine above the din of the contemporary music scene.
