Today, I crash The Upper Strata's recent West Coast tour. I connect with the chameleon-like duo, Johnny and Reg, on their Tempe, Az stop at The Timeout Lounge before their performance. We speak on their most recent album release, "Fog", and the "found sounds" that inspired many of the songs. Currently they call Basel, Switzerland home until their next stop on this pale blue dot. Having lived together in Europe and up and down the North American west, it becomes evident why their musical range is so vast. There is something for everyone to find some favorites combing through their decade-long catalog. 

Johnny and Regula also had a local Arizona artist and friend open up for them. I had the honor to meet and interview Jedidiah "Jed" Foster of the band, The Bittersweet Way. They also have quite the musical catalog and lead singer, Jed, has been critically compared to Morrissey. 

I really hope you enjoy the conversations and look to support your local artists!
