BROKEN HEARTED BOYS CLUB. You up?
Hailing from Philadelphia and now based in the vibrant city of Charleston, SC, alt indie hip-hop duo Little Stranger (Kevin and John Shields, no relation but best friends) have spent years honing their signature sound and perfecting their version of the “organized chaos” that a Little Stranger live show entails.

Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, the duo has become known for their unique sound, gaining millions of streams, playing countless sold-out shows, and major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Governor’s Ball, Hangout Fest, BottleRock, Levitate Music & Arts Festival, and more.
