From the outskirts of DC, a group of young men with a mutual love of funk, pop, and soul came together to breathe sensuality into new original music. Starting with their 2021 debut single, “I Want You To Know”, Strutman Lane’s rhythm guitar hooks, warm vocals, and driving sax lines cater pocket grooves to the soul.

After releasing their 2022 debut EP, the home-recorded “Bedroom Sessions”; headlining Union Stage and opening for Melt at the 9:30 Club in 2023; and releasing a couple viral Tik Toks playing music hitched to a truck at a McDonalds drive-thru, Strutman Lane has their sights set higher. To kick off 2024, Strutman Lane headlined Black Cat DC, and will now take on their biggest project yet: a professional album recorded at Bias Studios in VA. Starting with their first single, a funk cover of “Lavender Haze” by Taylor Swift - driven by three-part harmonies, powerful horn lines, tight grooves, and synth solos - this project promises to be their most ambitious entry into the soul-pop arena. For better or for worse, Strutman Lane will make you rethink your life choices.
