Native Strange, hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Blake McBride, who leads the band with unwavering passion. Initially conceived as a personal outlet for emotional expression, the project quickly caught the attention of Blake's brother, Boone McBride, who added a second guitar layer to Blake's compositions. The duo's synergy marked the beginning of Native Strange's journey in the local music scene.

Embracing open mic events as a platform for emerging musicians, Blake and Boone's performances attracted fellow musicians eager to enrich the band's sonic tapestry. Over the years, the lineup evolved, and today, Native Strange boasts a talented ensemble featuring Blake McBride on vocals, Christian Curtis on bass, Brenden Curtis on lead guitar, Jorge Sepulveda on rhythm guitar, Chris Reynolds on keys, and Nathan Wilson on drums. Their combined talents and diverse influences have created a unique sound that continues to captivate audiences and solidify their presence in the music scene.
