CJ Stranger

CJ Stranger is a guitar slinging, story-telling songwriter living on Dharug Country, Blue Mountains Australia. His music draws on folk songwriting traditions combined with an adventurous sonic palette courtesy of his exploratory guitar and banjo style. CJ’s latest EP 'Folk Songs for End Times' takes the listener on a journey through a post-apocalyptic Australian landscape. The characters are searching for both answers and hope as they traverse a barren landscape. Increasingly sought after for his unique and creative guitar sound, CJ has become an in-demand session player for many artists including William Crighton, Melody Pool, Middle Kids, John Schumann (Redgum), Lisa McCune, Angie Who, Magpie Diaries and toured extensively in bands opening for Midnight Oil, Bloc Party and the War on Drugs.
