Dear Indugu is an acoustic/electric Indie Folk Rock band from Oakland, California noted for potent lyrics, powerful instrumentation, and rich vocal harmony. What began as the solo project of singer-songwriter Jesse Strickman, grew into a permanent four-piece, with occasional guest musicians. The name, Dear Indugu, is inspired by the film 'About Schmidt' and is a metaphor for the universal self-healing power of expression, even when it's to a complete stranger.

The group performs regularly in the San Francisco Bay Area and has toured California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Washington playing everywhere from coffee shops to outdoor amphitheaters. They have opened for national and world acts, such as Damien Jurado, Cake, Jay Brannan, Night Riots and more. After touring with demos for years they released a limited edition debut EP in June of 2012, and the remastered version in March of 2013.

Dear Indugu's music ranges from intimate folk solo songs to driving full band indie rock. With thoughtful lyrics, strong dynamics, and a firm commitment to originality and musicianship, the Bay Area based band leaves a lasting impression.
