Biography
Stranger Friends

Stranger Friends, composed of songwriters Jamie Floyd and John Martin, have followed their musical instincts from a garage in Nashville to the world of major motion pictures. After being asked to write one song for the Burt Reynolds movie, Dog Years, the band ultimately placed 12 songs and appeared in the movie, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in early 2017. A few weeks later, “Yet to Come” earned recognition at the Nashville Film Festival for best original song. The film and soundtrack album will be released in 2018.

Floyd grew up as the daughter of performing musicians in West Palm Beach, Florida, and landed her first record deal at 11 years old. While working as a waitress, she co-wrote the exquisite title track to Ashley Monroe’s Grammy-nominated album, The Blade. A native of Stillwater, Oklahoma, Martin played football for Baylor University while continuing to write songs. He received his first-ever cut in Nashville with the best-selling solo artist of all-time, Garth Brooks.

With a musical style that combines the harmony of the Everly Brothers and the grit of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stranger Friend's self-titled, self-written EP will be released on October 20, 2017.

Jamie Floyd performs with "a firm grasp on heartbreak and devastation...delivered with gator-like bite that's wicked and fearless."
-Rolling Stone

"John Martin is a masterful storyteller. After every visit to our movie set, he would return the next day with multiple songs, each one reflecting the emotions of the scenes unfolding before him. The melodies were perfectly orchestrated, his voice contributing a unique blend of soothing comfort and pain... the result of his powerful songwriting: an entire soundtrack in just a few days time. That's a rare talent, indeed.”
- Dog Years Producer, Gordon Whitener
