They recently were awarded an Official Showcase at the Far-West Conference, also appearing as songwriter panelists alongside Beth Wood and Jim Bruno (Shawn Colvin) at the conference. Radio Stranger opened for David Wilcox's only Portland appearance in 2017.Joining Radio Stranger is Portland guitarist Jeffrey Koch. Jeff is well known as a member of The Noted and The Brian Copeland Band.
