Bartees Strange, is an English-born American musician. Strange was born in Ipswich, England,[1] raised in Mustang, Oklahoma, and is now based in Washington D.C.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Strange was born in Ipswich, England, to a military father and opera-singer mother. The family moved from England to Germany, Greenland and various US states before settling in Mustang, Oklahoma, when he was aged 12.[4] Before becoming a musician, Strange worked as the director of communications for a nonprofit environmental organization in Washington D.C.[5]

Career

While living in Brooklyn, Strange was a member of post-hardcore band Stay Inside from 2016 to 2018. In late 2017, Strange released his first solo effort, the acoustic folk EP "Magic Boy" under the name Bartees & The Strange Fruit.[6]

In March 2020, Strange released an EP of re-imagined covers of songs by The National, titled Say Goodbye to Pretty Boy, on Brassland.[7] After being named an "Artist To Watch" by Stereogum,[8] he released his debut solo LP, Live Forever, on October 2, 2020.[9] Featuring a mix of hip hop, indie rock, and jazz music,[10][11] the album was met with positive reception.[12][13] Later that year, Strange participated in the 2020 Thursday Signals V2 live show,[14] and continued to tour throughout 2021 and 2022, supporting artists such as Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, Courtney Barnett, and Car Seat Headrest.

In 2022, Strange released his second album to critical acclaim, Farm to Table.[15][16] Following the album's release, he toured alongside artists such as The National, Japanese Breakfast, and Metric.
