Sisters Brechyn and Larissa Chace started the project in 2006 while residing in Austin, Texas. Upon moving back to their hometown of Mercersburg, the duo set out to find a group of talented musicians to back them up. They found Dave Holzwarth on bass, Katie O’Neil on drums, and Kevin Shannon on lead guitar. Larissa sings and plays rhythm guitar, while Brechyn sings and entertains on harmonica, accordion, and tambourine. The Hello Strangers have been performing as a full band since November 2008.

Their vocal harmonies intertwine in a way only sisters can accomplish, and each song brings a unique flavor to their performance, catering to a wide variety of musical tastes. Their rhythm section ties it all together in a whimsical, eclectic package that is sure to please. The Hello Strangers look forward to each performance as an opportunity to meet new friends and garner new fans.
