Our Story

Consisting of Joe Grady on acoustic and electric bass and lead vocals and Cameron Schmitz on acoustic/electric steel and nylon string guitars, electric guitars and backup vocals, String Thieves pack a big sound and cover an incredibly vast expanse of styles. We play jazz (straight ahead, swing, bop) to blues, rock to pop, reggae to country and stuff in between that is musical, danceable, and extremely fun.

When Joe is out of town, Kristina Huegel will assume the other half of the Thieves, taking the duo to a whole new realm! An incomparable singer with diverse vocal talent, Kristina is able to smoothly shift gears from Aretha, Etta, Patsy and Eva Cassidy to Maria Muldaur, Heart and Joan Jett.
