The Posies

About:

Singers, songwriters, and guitarists Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer met at a Bellingham music store as teenagers in the mid-’80s. They began the Posies in 1988 with bassist Rick Roberts and drummer Mike Musburger, both of whom left by the mid-’90s, playing sweet-toned pop-rock that, along with similar fare from Teenage Fanclub and Matthew Sweet, became early ’90s college- radio favorites and recording five albums before splitting in 1998. They got back together two years later and are simply one of the most creative, resourceful, and influential bands to emerge from the American DIY underground in the last two decades.

“Even the vaguest scan of the Stringfellow songbook will reveal Ken’s intimate acquaintance with the bitter/sweet dichotomy, dark clouds and silver linings: the keenest emotional wounds dressed with sugary sky-scraping tunes.” – Loose Lips Sink Ships
