Kind Hearted Strangers is an evolving cast of musicians led by singer/songwriter Marc Townes.

Tracing its origins to the foothills of Colorado, 2025 finds the band creating and touring out of

Nashville, TN. As the name implies, the project acts as the primary vessel for Townes’ artistic

endeavors, as he has been joined by a variety of musicians for each album cycle. With a

foundation built on well crafted songs, KHS has evolved into a dynamic live band capable of

bridging the gap between all out rock n’ roll and harmony-driven acoustic roots.

The band’s latest LP entitled “Now.here” features a collaboration with visual artist/painter Dylan

Lynch. This immersive project found the group working in a shared Richmond, VA warehouse

space for 5 days. With no prepared material, the artists intentionally put pressure on themselves

to create and deliver a Live Concert & Art Exhibition at the end of the week. The resulting album

contains brand new material that was recorded live with the same raw energy and passion KHS

has been delivering across the country during their busiest era of touring to date.

Not a man, not a dog, but an international conglomerate headquartered in Richmond, VA featuring *gutheral* rock for every type of baby. Angling off musical curves since 2023, Jake, The Dog is no-helmet handlebar ride on a wave of *The Left Unsaid* - A Thinking Man's Rock n Roll - Inner Lad Energy, refined and purifired mid garbage born in the Richmond music nebula and formed by the astral dust of... Palm Palm, Camp Howard, Sleepwalkers, & Super Doppler.
