HELLO STRANGER

Hello Stranger was formed in a dusty Los Angeles rehearsal studio in 2015, but the origins of the group date back more than a decade.

Sam Deffenbaugh (Singer/Guitarist) spent his childhood moving across the country. During this time, he wrote songs to capture these diverse political and cultural experiences. The result was an eclectic body of work influenced by 90’s alternative, folk, punk, and even classical.

In 2015 Deffenbaugh moved to Los Angeles and met accomplished drummer, Daniel Rodriguez. They were soon joined by the spectacular jazz-trained musician, Doug Slohm, on bass. Finally, the group was completed when Alex Monfort joined bringing his experience as a prodigious blues guitarist to the fold.

Hello Stranger combines Deffenbaugh’s expansive songwriting with Rodriguez's thunderous drumming, Slohm's expressive grooves, and Monfort’s soulful leads. Their sound is rooted in rock history, but is also inventive, wide-ranging, and modern.

Hello Stranger released their debut record, Long Division, with Producer Jon Lundin in January 2018, and the response was overwhelming. In the first week alone, the album received 200k+ downloads and streams.

The band is currently hard at work supporting Long Division and working on a follow up album.

THE TRUE ILLUSIONS

The True Illusions is a Los Angeles art-rock band formed by Hello Stranger singer Sam Deffenbaugh. Their music is majestic and highly-emotional featuring Deffenbaugh’s soaring vocals.

Inspired by the music of Radiohead, Alt-J, and Jeff Buckley, Deffenbaugh crafted The True Illusion’s debut, April Quiets, entirely in his West Hollywood bedroom. The songs on this record address isolation, environmental change, and political division.
