Betsy Ade & the Well Known Strangers on Max Ink Radio

May 11, 2024

Lead singer Betsy Ade and guitarist Joe Adamak are "strangers" no more as we talk with them about what it means to be a cello-infused alternative rock band. The Southeast Wisconsin-based group also shares their new goals after Betsy's appearance on "The Voice." And as the band works on a new album, Max Ink Radio gets the opportunity to play the world debut of the song, "One Drop." It's a thing of beauty! Don't drop your chance to hear it here, first.
