OUR STORY

ABOUT THE BAND

Strawberry Lake, was previously know as Mercury Switch of Dexter, Michigan. They offer a deep, melody-rich blend of vibes with a raw, introspective edge. Rooted in friendship and formed in the wake of loss. They channel emotion deep into every chord they play. The band came together after the passing of someone close to all of them, whose love of music helped shape their shared connection and creative direction.

 

Their sound blends an energy of My Morning Jacket, Steve Earle, Wilco, with a dash of classic The Eagles; a raspy, raw melody-forward edge rock with soul, grit, and a touch of southern warmth. It's both anthemic and introspective, striking a balance between power and vulnerability.
