Well you’ve got your Rockin’ roll bands, and then you have Stranger by the Minute, Seattle’s (And maybe the worlds) only “Bluerockfunkgrass” Band. They call it that because their music has aspects of Blues, Rock, A funky element, and even a touch of Bluegrass. There are no electric guitars in this band. The singer/songwriter Dean Moller plays a bluesy resonator guitar and an acoustic while still adding enough upbeat and grit to make you not miss the electric. These guys make for a comfortable, yet upbeat, show in ANY venue.
It was while Dean was living on his 40’sailboat at Shilshole Bay Marina that he met Bass player Gary Siegel. The two became fast friends and found that their musical tastes matched. Add to the mix Vance “Romance” Nurkala, or Mr. Meter as the band calls him. Vance teaches drums by day and plays at night. With the addition of Nurkala the band progressed into the “Bluerockfunkgrass” band they always wanted to be.
The unusual thing about Stranger by the Minute is......the songs. These are not your standard observational songs of the 2000’s. Moller writes songs wrought from many hard miles traveled and lessons well learned with Siegel the driving low end and Nurkala keeping the beat.
The new release by Stranger by the Minute is titled “Shameless Nights” an eclectic mix of all the above genres mentioned above. From the Resonator on the front of the CD to the lyrics inside, this is a very different CD.
When asked where the band wants to go with their music, Moller answers “ What we’d really like is respect, we’ll be playing anyway, some respect and enough money to keep on going would be nice.”
