The five-man band boasts an ability to weave new sounds and styles into their traditional rock sound, creating a musical experience enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Hailing from Denver, Strange Americans has produced three full-length albums over the past six years: “Royal Battle” (2012), “That Kind of Luster” (2014), and “Borrow You, Brother” (2017). Band members include Matt Hoffman, Trent Nelson, Murry Mercier, Trevor Sinnard and Michael John McKee. Together, the quintet has established an extensive following across northern Colorado and beyond and has even been named as “Best Band” by Westword Magazine in 2013.
