ABOUT

Stranger on the Road started as a creative outlet, but slowly grew into a way of communicating. To show what often feels too complex to put into just words: through songs, and visuals.

The music blends intimate singer-songwriter roots with hints of folk and country. The visuals are cinematic and dark, but always reaching for something warm and hopeful.

Stranger on the Road

Behind the project is Henri Doornbos, Dutch multidisciplinary artist, singer-songwriter and visual storyteller with a background in photography, film and design. 

Deeply influenced by his experience with Autism and ADHD, he creates from a place of vulnerability. Showing what it means to feel, to search, and to belong — even when you don’t quite fit the mold.

In a fast-moving world that often feels too loud, the project offers space. A place to slow down, reflect, and feel seen. More about the story of Stranger on the Road can be seen in the documentary.
