Jeff Andrea Of The Strange Familiar
for those of you who dont know who they are here is alittle bit of a bio on them
The Strange Familiar is an American pop rock band from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The group was originally formed in 2006 by husband and wife Jeff Andrea and Kira Leyden, former members of the popular Akron, Ohio band Jaded Era. Their first single, "Courage Is...", gained them significant attention after it was heavily promoted on ABC Family to launch a brand new series.[1]. In 2012 the band was featured on mtvU[2] and Season 3 of The CW's hit series The Vampire Diaries[3]. Other members include fellow Ohio natives Frank Freeman (bass) and Nicholas Sainato (drums).

ABC Family

The band first gained national attention when their song "Courage Is...", from their self-released debut "You Can't Go Back" EP was used in trailers and promotions for the new hit ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager in 2008.[4] "Lyrically and tonally, the song couldn't have been more perfect for the show," says Stacy Asturias, creative director at ABC Family. "Plus, it's just a really beautiful song in its own right. We love to hear great new music, and so does our fan base."[5] Without a label, their debut EP quickly reached the Top 10 on iTunes. ABC Family continued to feature The Strange Familiar and their songs "I Just Want To Love You" and "Secret Life (You and Me)" in promos for Season Two and Season Three of Secret Life'.[6] A music video for "Secret Life (You and Me)" was included as a bonus feature on season 2 DVD.[7] The band also wrote and recorded an original Christmas single "The Only Gift I Need" for Walt Disney's compilation album Songs to Celebrate 25 Days of Christmas.[8]America's Got Talent

Orianthi recorded a version of The Strange Familiar's "Courage Is...". It was released as a single on August 31, 2010 by Geffen Records with the title "Courage" featuring Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf.[13] The track was included on her re-release of "Believe (II)" and as a bonus track on Believe.[14] It reached #37 on the Adult Top 40.
