biographical info
The most-often asked musical question is “what kind of music do you play?” It may be surprising that Zubot and Dawson will answer “Strang”. You may ask what is Strang? It’s a whole lot easier to listen to than it is to describe. The short answer would be “acoustic music that kicks ass”. It’s folk music for people who don’t like folk music- and for people who love it dearly. For Steve Dawson and Jesse Zubot, this is just the starting point for the amazing musical journey that is Strang. While they were listening to such artists as Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, Ry Cooder, Darol Anger and David “Dawg” Grisman, they were also listening to classical, country, folk, funk, rock, Hawaiian and bluegrass - all of which are now part of their musical DNA. You also have to add in 2 or 3 kinds of jazz, blues and electronica, all brought to you by 2 seriously accomplished musicians - Jesse on violin and mandolin and Steve on acoustic, National steel-bodied and Weissenborn Hawaiian guitars.
