Vermont, home of maple syrup, ice cream, and jam bands, is fittingly home to Strangefolk, who formed in 1991 in Burlington. (Not the capital, though that’s where UVM is. The capital of Vermont is Montpelier)

Strangefolk has had multiple members since then, but at their core is Jon Trafton who plays guitar and sings. Reid Genauer, the other founding member, left the band in 2000 to go back to school. BORING. Well, not so much, as he then started another band called Assembly of Dust.

In 2004, the band took a brief hiatus, but multiple members then started a side project called The Windfalls. One might call that band name….strange?
