Formed in early 2012 and based out of Hartford CT, Luli and the Innocents is a Rock/Blues/Indie band that is on the rise. Comprised of five members: Andrea "Drea" Strunk from Seattle WA, Travis Salad, Nick Powell, Brian Quagan and Chris Brown, all of whom come from Northern CT. Over the years, each one of them have been playing music in various projects. After finally settling into this killer lineup, they are looking to make 2012 a very busy year. In April of 2012, they came in first place in radio 104.1's Talent Warz competition which has gained them widespread attention. Shortly after, they released their first studio EP "Car Tunes on July 14th 2012. This quickly caught local radio stations attention such as New Haven's 99.1, Hartford's 104.1, and college stations around the country. The band was also showcased for a RAW Hartford event in July 2012. A showcase involving the best artists and musicians in the state. In lieu of this, Luli and the Innocents have recently been nominated to become RAW's "Musician of the Year," in Hartford, CT. The band has had the great pleasure of opening for the national touring powerhouse Bronze Radio Return, well known for their latest record "Shake Shake Shake" which has been featured worldwide on commercials such as Home Depot and Nissan. As winter approaches, the band has begun the writing process for their new record to be released in Spring 2013. This record will not only showcase a cohesive sound, but also a lot of energy, soulful vocals, and pleasing harmonies which will all be reminiscent of a vintage and unique sound.
