‘The High Strung Band’ was formed in Encinitas, California. We are out and about all over San Diego County now with today’s version of this very classic rock band. We put our own spin on songs by great bands, such as The Animals, Bad Company, Cream, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and many more.
Stevie Nicks, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Buddy Rich are some of our favorite musicians. We try to channel their talent and love of music to you!
