It started
innocently enough, musician (boy) invites fellow musician
(girl) to participate in a project at the suggestion of
producer. Boy and girl find they have a lot in common
musically, and boy writes them a country song on the plane
home. Thus begins two years writing and recording songs
with the producer.
“That first song
got lost as soon as we started writing more songs. It just
didn’t fit” Said Paul Stinson from his seat at an airport
diner. “I’ve always had songs that I wrote just for the
sake of writing, without any specific destination in mind.
Ever since Paul and I started working together it's been
great to find a place for those tunes, and write new ones
together.” Brett Anderson explains. “We did a couple
Stripminers songs at one of my solo shows and it felt
right” Scrote the bands producer and guitar player chimes
in.
So here we are
2011, it is official, and The Stripminers are a band.
After several recording sessions and a couple under the
radar shows, The Stripminers are open for business.
