was created as a result of the desire to continue the traditions of "music first" with classic rock roots instituted by band founder Dean Bogardus.

The stripped project was the brain child of Bob wanting to continue playing guitar as well as the bass. Bob contacted Amy via the internet and they hit it off immediately, with musical tastes so similar it was scary.

Paul and Shane caught wind of the collaboration and jumped right on board. Time Trooper ~stripped~ was born! Soon after, Scott Wood kicked in with his acoustic brew and we were off and running. The stripped act is playing in and around the Utica and Syracuse areas with occasional gigs north to the mountains.

With over 40 tunes in the stripped song list, from Janis Joplin to Evenesence we are sure to make your party ROCK! The Group is also beginning to combine both the full ensenble and stripped show's for those venues that want a wide diversity of music.

Don't be a stranger, there's more to come. . .!
