SF Bay Area, CA — Fueled by national radio airplay and a climb up the Top 50 Americana and AAA Singles charts, Wreckless Strangers continue celebrating the release of their new album, Dirty Souls, with a summer run of performances across the greater Bay Area. Newly announced dates include The California Theater in Santa Rosa with Pardon the Interruption on June 26, the Point Richmond Outdoor Music Series on July 10, the 4th Annual Valley Car Show in Woodacre on July 18, The Barn in Gilroy on July 19, Live on the Avenue in San Anselmo on August 22, the Old Western Saloon in Point Reyes Station on August 28, and the Rio Nido Roadhouse on August 30, with stops in Colorado and Wyoming along the way.
With Dirty Souls, Wreckless Strangers return to their rock-and-roll roots, delivering their rawest and most visceral studio effort to date. The six-song collection channels the arena-rock spirit of the ’70s and ’80s that shaped the band’s earliest influences while bringing a fresh, modern edge to the sound. The first single, “Dirty Soul,” released January 23, is receiving national airplay and is available on major streaming platforms. The band released the full album on March 27.
Concert attendees will have the opportunity to purchase CDs and exclusive merchandise at live performances.

Wreckless Strangers is a collective of friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ’n’ roll tradition. Their unique blend of “Ameri-Cali Soul” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power, with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability. With soaring vocal harmonies and burning instrumental improvisation, framed by concise, poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers seek to honor and carry forth the brand of free-spirited musical fun and adventure that defines the Bay Area.
The band features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar and lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass and vocals; Mick Hellman on drums and vocals; Rob Anderson on guitar and vocals; and Fletcher Nielsen on keys.
Dirty Souls is the band’s third studio outing under the tutelage of Grammy-winning producer Dave Way, who fosters a level of depth and organic cohesion that firmly establishes Wreckless Strangers in San Francisco’s storied rock ’n’ roll legacy. The songwriting is among their most intimate and personal, exploring themes of relationships, loss, empowerment, and perseverance. Co-lead singers Amber Morris and David Noble function as a single organism, bringing the songs to life with bluesy grit, soul, and humanity, bolstered by rock-solid, road-hewn grooves.
