Silent Stranger® was a band from 1982 to 1988. Playing gigs around the local area, we got into writing original material between 1986 to 1988, which would be near the end of our time together, so we decided to record them in a local studio to have a good copy for our own prosperity.
Our regular day jobs caused the band to split, after the recording session in 1988, with two of us leaving to work in Germany.
Since returning to Canada in 1993, the distance between us, has prevented any reformation of the band.
In the summer of 2012 I began to make music videos for some of these songs and put them on YouTube under Silent Stranger®.
I didn’t do much else except that, until the summer of 2014 when I discovered ReverbNation and started a Silent Stranger® band page to upload the songs, as well to link the YouTube videos.
Following other bands/artists, I found out about Unsigned/Independent radio stations and began to submit music to them.
Mid January 2015 was when the first Silent Stranger® song, "Make Way For the Ladies" was played on internet radio.
Submitting to more radio stations followed after this and going into the chat rooms for these stations I heard some great material that had been very well recorded by these Unsigned Indie bands/artists.
In the spring of 2015, knowing there were technical and musical errors in these songs that could only be fixed by re-recording them, I booked some studio time and studio musicians to do just that.
May 2015 the new version of “Make Way For the Ladies” was released and sent to the Internet radio.
Shortly after that I did the same with “Something About a Dream”. I changed/added some lyrics, moved some around, added a third verse.
Summer 2015 it was released on ReverbNation and was also sent to the Internet radio.
Shortly after getting the final mix for “Something About a Dream”, I thought that doing an acoustic version would give the song a whole different feel, which had never been an idea I had before this and then had this acoustic version done within two weeks and sent to the Internet radio.
Nov 2015 the song “Silent Stranger” got released and sent to the Internet radio.
Dec 2015 the song “Broken Glass (Instrumental)” got released and sent to the Internet radio.
May 2016 the song “Rosemary” got released and sent to the Internet radio.
July 2016 the song “Bangkok by Night” got released and sent to the Internet radio.
