• Enter to WIN FREE TICKETS to see Little Stranger on February 25 at Crystal Ballroom!
Alt indie hip-hop duo Little Stranger (Kevin and John Shields—no relation, but best friends) have spent years honing their signature sound and perfecting their version of the "organized chaos" that a Little Stranger live show entails. In an era where genre is increasingly irrelevant, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop garnering comparisons to newer artists like Remi Wolf, Still Woozy, and Marc Rebillet but also the golden age of hip hop running into pop epitomized by early 2000s Timberland, Gorillaz, and NERD.
