The Local Strangers is a Seattle acoustic duo featuring Midwestern transplants Aubrey Zoli and Matt Hart. With soulful vocals and intricate harmonies, their poignant, honest, and relatable songwriting has distinguished them in the Americana/alt-country scene. They thrive on stage in an energetic display of passion for their music and create an unmistakable connection with every audience. After departing from long term musical projects, Aubrey and Matt met in September 2010 and quickly realized that they shared a common musical vision. Just a month after meeting, they entered the studio to begin work on their debut EP – the day after their first show. The collaborative recording process brought together sensational talent and laid the foundation for The Local Strangers’ full-band sound. “With beautiful harmonies and quotable lyrics that echo in your mind long after the music stops, you’ll have no choice but to set them to repeat.” - Seattlest.com “A refreshing acoustic sound courtesy of Matt’s guitar, and his singing manifests an honesty and eclectic edge that is engaging and entertaining from the moment he begins a song. Aubrey, on the other hand, has a voice that cries or smolders or implores in a style by turns reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, or Anna Nalick, among others. Her harmonies are gorgeous. Her leads are magnificent. These vocal personas create a tension in the music that is incredibly rewarding.” - Victory Music Review
