Photo credit Rupert ColesThrilled that their newly released singles are getting national radio airplay and moving up the Top 100 Americana Singles and Top 100 AAA Singles Charts,Wreckless Strangers continue their album release celebration with several shows in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Lucca Bar & Grill in Benicia, the newly reopened historic Papermill Creek Saloon in West Marin, a stint at the Golden Gate Park Bandshell, a fundraiser for Challenged Athletes Foundation, and more. Wreckless Strangers return to their roots with their forthcoming studio album,Dirty Souls. The six-song collection marks the band’s rawest and most visceral effort to date — a modern take on the arena rock of the ’70s and ’80s that inspired their earliest musical influences. The first single, “Dirty Soul,” came out on January 23 and is getting radio play across the nation, and is available on most streaming platforms. Their second single, “The Runaround,” was released on February 27, and the full album comes out on March 27. Concert attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies of the CD at the live shows.   Dirty Souls is the band’s third studio outing under the tutelage of Grammy-winning producer Dave Way, who fosters a level of depth and organic cohesion that firmly establishes Wreckless Strangers in San Francisco’s storied rock ’n’ roll legacy. The songwriting is among their most intimate and personal, exploring themes of relationships, loss, empowerment, and perseverance. Co-lead singers Amber Morris and David Noble function as a single organism, bringing the songs to life with bluesy grit, soul, and humanity bolstered by rock-solid, road-hewn grooves. Visit WrecklessStrangers.com and follow the band on social media for updates. Wreckless Strangers is a collective of friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique blend of “Ameri-Cali Soul” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability. With soaring vocal harmonies and burning instrumental improvisation, framed by concise, poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers seek to honor and carry forth the brand of free-spirited musical fun and adventure that defines the Bay Area. The band features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar and lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass and vocals; Mick Hellman on drums and vocals; Rob Anderson on guitar and vocals; and Fletcher Nielsen on keys. The band was recently invited back to perform live on Nashville’s famed Americana Roots radio station, WMOT, and performed at NAMM in Southern California in January.
