Who We Are
At Eccentric Stranger Records we provide artists with an outlet to express themselves in a creative way while remaining authentic to their true selves and sources of inspiration.
In a music business that aims to put every artist into a clearly-defined box and which values trends over substance, we aim to promote and endorse artists that shy away from the mainstream but that still have something amazing to offer.
We believe that music is a fully subjective form of expression and not every artist or piece of art is right for every fan and vice versa.
Eccentric Stranger Records is there for the outsiders: artists and listeners alike.

What We Do
So what do we do at Eccentric Stranger Records? The truth is that we have an identity crisis. We’re not a normal record label but we’re also not really a promotional company either.
We might be a little bit of both.
In the age of mass communication, the internet and social media, things are changing quickly and the strategies that music business executives and bigwigs popularized from the 1920s to the 1980s won’t necessarily work today. Similarly, what works for a major label artist won’t necessarily work for the little guy.
We promote and support artists that we believe in, but do it in a way that actually works and that doesn’t consist of blindly following the status quo.
The actions we take on behalf of an artist vary depending on our individual relationship with them but could include helping with the actual recording of a single or album or promoting an existing release. We also work with artists to put on amazing local shows, events, and festivals so that music can be experienced live as well as through recordings.
Our actions and activities will change over time based on the goals of our artists and the arts and entertainment landscape, but we’ll always put effort into making sure unique and distinctive artists get heard by the people who want to hear them the most.
