With a unique lineup, signature sound and brand-new album, Perfect Stranger is remaining anything
but silent. The band’s two accomplished lead singer/songwriters and dueling lead guitars produces a look and sound that is
stretching boundaries and making lots of noise in the Texas music scene.
Originally founded in 1986 in Carthage, Texas by Shayne Morrison and Richard Raines, Perfect Stranger signed with
Nashville’s Curb Records in 1995 and released “You Have the Right to Remain Silent”. By the middle of the
year, the title track had reached 4 on the country music charts. In 1997, Perfect Stranger was nominated for new group of
the year by the Academy of Country Music (ACM).
After releasing its second album, “..The Hits,” in 2001, and selling nearly a half million records with
Curb over seven years, Richard Raines had to leave the band. Perfect Stranger continued to tour when Shayne Morrison
recruited Chad Ware (lead guitar) and Clint Williams (lead vocals and guitar) in 2002. With lead singer / guitarist
Marcus Eldridge (formerly of Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros) and drummer Doug Martin (formerly with Ezra Charles)
joining in 2008, Perfect Stranger now features a signature, new country sound that appeals to a wide audience.
Perfect Stranger recorded the new album, “Shake the World,” at the acclaimed Rosewood Studio in Tyler,
Texas and signed on with Smith Entertainment Group in 2009. Watch for “Shake the World” in stores and don’t
miss the chance to see the new Perfect Stranger.
