2023 saw the lifelong friends (Joe James and James Cameron) and americana, roots rock n roll duo from Bristol take their songs further afield than ever before. Armed with their crowd funded debut album ‘Heart of the Matter’ and latest release ‘Live from White Noise;’ they toured the UK, supported Lukas Nelson & the Promise of the Real, rocked the Joe Bonamassa Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Mediterranean Cruise alongside the man himself, completed their first tour of Sweden all whilst paying the bills with their day jobs.
True Strays love modern and retro sounds. They are currently recording and self producing their next album in their home studio shed, aptly named Little Pink (A nod to The Band and Bob Dylan’s legendary house studio), giving them time to hone in on the sounds they love and desire. High voltage blues guitar riffs and melodic soul driven bass lines; tied together with harmonic vocals, surging 70s rock Hammond and shimmering psychedelia that takes you down the highway to the sunset and beyond....
They have supported bands as diverse as My Baby, Holy Moly and the Crackers, Elles Bailey, Wille and the Bandits, Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra, Black Water County and Mad Dog Mcrea. Played prestigious festivals like Black Deer, Edinburgh Jazz & Blues, Green Man, Boom Town, Larmer Tree, Glastonbury and Shambala

True Strays
Bristol based True Strays started when Joe and James met in a sand pit at play group aged 3 and 4. Their paths were inextricably crossed from that point. They were reunited at secondary school playing guitar and bass in school music concerts and school night trips to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Biffy Clyro. By 2012, they were in a band together and haven’t looked back since. True Strays marks an attempt to create honest, liberating blues driven music with an old school feel.
