Audio Addicts - 'Strawberry Lake – Other Spaces, a Michigan band of two father-and-son pairs, ahead of debut album Forever'
Strawberry Lake are a band from Dexter, Michigan, made up of two father-and-son duos: Martin Fletcher on vocals and guitar with his son Carter on bass, and Jim Pulford on drums with his son Cole on guitar and backing vocals. Their debut single Other Spaces is out now, and it previews their debut album Forever, due in early 2027.
The band came out of tragedy. Jim's son Gage died in a car accident on 26 June 2022, just three weeks after graduating from high school. He had long dreamed of getting his friends' fathers, many of them musicians, together to play, and after he died Jim and Martin did exactly that and brought their sons in too. They have been playing venues around Ann Arbor and Detroit for the past few years.
Other Spaces is about trying to escape personal troubles through nightlife and other distractions, only to find the problems are still there. At its heart is an on-and-off relationship between two people who want to be close but struggle to communicate.
