The name The Strugglers signifies music made by singular American singer Brice Randall Bickford. Reared in southern Virginia, Bickford began performing as The Strugglers shortly after moving to New York City. He self-released his first album Done by The Strugglers in 2001 & received much praise from those who heard the sparsely distributed 4-track recording. In 2003 after a move back to the south & a month-long tour of the eastern U.S., Tract Records issued The Strugglers' second album The New Room.
