The Stragglyrs: Original folk-rock and country rock

Quality songwriting and superb live performances featuring harmony vocals and rootsy, guitar-driven folk-rock and country rock have been the hallmark of the Stragglyrs since the South Bay band formed in 2000. Band members are Tom Thompson of Sunnyvale on lead and rhythm guitar and vocals; Bill Mishler of San Jose on drums and vocals; and Chris Purdum of Mountain View on bass and vocals. The newest member is Mike Fitzgerald of San Carlos, on rhythm and lead guitar, who succeeded Jim Braly after he moved to Portland, Ore. The Stragglyrs have an ensemble band approach with all members writing and singing in various combinations. The Stragglyrs have released four albums featuring 60 original songs and have played hundreds of live shows in the Bay Area.
