For Mark Austin, Elli Perry, and Corey Spangler (founders of the Native Stranger Artist Collective) the years spent on the road pursuing industry model music careers left them feeling disconnected—from their community, core values and the well-spring of creativity that set them in motion. A fortuitous Fort Collins meeting would lead to the three aligning their intention – creating an artistic future together not aimed toward the model success of the art made, but focused in the quality of life though which it's generated. They talk about that experience, their commitment to each other's work, and the launch of their respective AND collective creative works on September 8.
