Betsy Ade and the Well Known Strangers
Betsy Ade & the Well-Known Strangers (BAWKS) have been entertaining Midwest audiences with their cello-infused alternative pop/rock sound since 2015. Members Betsy Ade (lead vocals, guitar), Joe Adamek (guitars), Cameron Fair (cello, keyboards), John Kulas (bass guitar) and Scott Fox (percussion), have released 5 CD’s. This includes a full-length album, several EPs, and an exciting range of fun and influential videos.
Ade’s rich lyrical gifts are essential and her vocal delivery is simply unmatched in contemporary pop/rock music. In addition to Ade’s talents, the band members have an amazing mix of musical knowledge and education that provides a unique sound that is reminiscent of familiar music from the ’90s while being expressively groundbreaking and melodically rich. They have been humbled by their success, performing with international acts that include Melissa Etheridge, Nancy Wilson, Blind Melon, Shawn Colvin, Blue October, KT Tunstall, Lindsay Ell, Candlebox, The Gufs, Skerryvore, Cathy Richardson, Sebastian Bach, and many more. 2019 was an exciting year for BAWKS! Ade was a Top 24 Contestant on NBC's "The Voice", where she had the rare opportunity to work with 3 different coaches, including; John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Levine. Ade’s experience on “The Voice” has brought international attention to the band’s talents and charitable efforts.
BAWKS are now writing a new full-length album, "Dawn". This album's first single "Forever" was released on August 27, 2021. They've followed that single with the release of "Working Man" and "Standing By". In July 2022, BAWKS toured Scotland & England including several performances in the Tiree Music Festival. BAWKS followed up that tour with performances in the spectacular Mile of Music in Appleton, WI. In November 2021, BAWKS performed on The Melissa Etheridge Cruise with Melissa Etheridge, Nancy Wilson, KT Tunstall, Shawn Colvin, Lindsay Ell, and many other successful artists.
BAWKS have been recognized through numerous awards and nominations since inception.
