In September 2007 The Tells performed a Jack White themed late night set at the StrangeCreek Festival in Greenfield, MA, covering songs by The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.
The origins of Strangers Helping Strangers (SHS) dates back to late 1997, when fans of the Burlington, Vermont-based band Strangefolk saw an opportunity to help those less fortunate by collecting non-perishable food at various Strangefolk concerts throughout the Northeast USA and donating it to food banks and charities in the cities and towns Strangefolk played.
