Silent Stranger® is an Independent rock band that has origins in Gananoque, Ontario, Canada, when I joined an existing five-piece band “Lift” in 1976 as their guitarist. But it ended in 1978 when two members split and when we tried to carry on as a four-piece, some unfortunate events resulted in the end of the band. Those being, one member was in a car accident, then the drummer and bass player (brothers) had their family home burn down and along with it, their instruments.
Later in Trenton, Ontario, Canada, I helped form the band “Generation” in 1982 and we underwent a name-change to “Stylus” in 1985, after a short break-up and a new drummer. Playing gigs around our local area, we also wrote original material during this time. One of our members had to move in July 1987 due to his job. It was attempted to get a replacement for him but to no avail. Meanwhile I found out in Oct 1987 I would also be moving for my job in July 1988, so in the spring of 1988 we decided to record some of our original songs in a local studio as a four-piece unit.
I had been writing songs since learning guitar during High School in the ‘70’s and kept writing after that, but never had the resources to get past the demo stage of recording.
In the summer of 2012 while living in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, I began to make music videos using the audio from the 1988 demo versions of “Make Way For the Ladies” and “Something About a Dream” to put on YouTube under the name Silent Stranger®.
In 2014 I began finding different music platforms on the internet, which introduced me to many bands and artists, as well as internet-based Independent radio stations, which I submitted my demo versions of “Make Way For the Ladies” and “Something About a Dream” for airplay under my YouTube name Silent Stranger®. These songs began to get favourable reviews from the listeners of these Independent radio stations. I also found that many of the bands and artists had songs that were recorded to a high standard. Knowing there were technical and musical errors in my demos and would need a complete re-recording to correct these, I began re-arranging and in some cases, rewrote parts of my demos by adding new music and new lyrics, in order to have the songs recorded up to the same standard. In the spring of 2015, I began booking studio time and studio musicians to get my demos and new songs recorded.
