Roots

Strangers by Accident are an indie-folk band hailing from Boston, MA. They mix bright harmonies and acoustic bass with suitcase-drums and electric guitars, along with raw lyrics and songwriting from the heart.
"Strangers By Accident’s self-titled first EP debuted earlier this year, with five songs of forlorn, post-breakup folk full of the heartbreak and uncertainty that colored Sousa’s move to Massachusetts." - Scout Cambridge

Gone To Seed got its start in 2009 after a lively musical duel with a group across the street brought this fresh MA-based string band onto the front porch and out into the open. Based on bluegrass and old-time music, the band blends hints of jazz, folk and rock into their ‘roots-grass’ sound.

Their self-titled EP, released in October 2011, combines dynamic original tunes with vibrant covers that together pay tribute to the legacy of artists such as David Grisman and Bob Dylan, and the rising musical influence of bands like Old Crow Medicine Show and Trampled by Turtles.

Gone To Seed is Colin Vandenburgh, David Griffith, Jeremy Smith, Joshua Lamb, and John Nidiry.
