About
Ever since forming in 2008 and releasing their debut album, 2012's My Father and the Hunter, two-time JUNO award-winning alternative group The Strumbellas have steadily released follow-ups containing every ounce of stomping, hand-clapping, alt-country gusto, from 2013's We Still Move on Dance Floors to 2016's Hope to 2019's Rattlesnake. They'll soon round the corner with a brand-new fifth studio album, Part Time Believer, a collection that signals The Strumbellas' grand return and rebirth.
Now with Jimmy Chauveau on board as lead vocalist, The Strumbellas spent the last four years writing, recording, and whittling 50 songs down to 12. Honed by producers Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Kaiser Chiefs), Keith Varon (Machine Gun Kelly), Stevie Aiello (30 Seconds To Mars), and Dave Schiffman (RHCP, The Killers), Part Time Believer continues The Strumbellas' long-standing tradition of blending anthemic, brightly coloured compositions with yearning, contemplative lyrics.
"I think people often feel like things are escaping them, or they're trying to grab on to something -- happiness, gratitude, professional or personal goals -- and for some reason, they just can't get there," says David Ritter, who handles piano, organ, percussion, and vocals. "Even if they get the thing they want, it doesn't feel the way they thought it would. A lot of these songs are about trying to, like, figure out why we're all feeling this way, and how we can find more peace in our lives."

by Nichole on 6/17/19Newport Music Hall - ColumbusThis was by far one of the best concerts i have been to. Small venue concerts are the best and The Strumbellas put on a great show. I would see them a million more times.

by BostonBobbi on 11/16/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonStrumbellas put on an amazing show and sounded fantastic. They even sang a song without music or microphones and the whole venue was silent. Then they had us jumping for joy and screaming through tears. I feel so lucky I was able to see them in such a small venue. They sounded great. I matter where I stood. I brought people who didn't know their music and they became fans after the first song. Love this band, and I love this venue.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Strumbellas So Good
by PuraVidaWTW on 11/16/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonThe show was a good one. I saw Strumbellas at ACL in 2016 and loved them, so had to see them at The Paradise again. Of their 3 cd's HOPE is a clear cut over the first two. They played nearly every song with notable exceptions David and I Still See Her Cry. Show could have been longer capping out at around 75-80 mins, but it was a Monday I suppose. Sound system was good as usual at the Paradise and the audience enjoyed the show without taking away the experience of others. IDK why, maybe a folksy maturity?? Maybe the good part of seeing a show on Monday night? Would highly recommend this band to anyone who gets oppty to see them. and Pick up Hope if you don't have it.

by Mirirish on 11/16/17Paradise Rock Club - BostonGreat night Out . Fun support band before the Strumbellas came on at 9 o'clock they played till 10 wrapping up with "guns in your head." They came back for an encore which everyone enjoyed .Upbeat and fun dancing along to my favorite band from "The River" .

by vOHIO on 10/28/1720th Century Theater - CincinnatiThe Strumbellas were awesome but they would have sounded much better if the music wasn't so loud and we could actually hear them sing. When they performed a song without the microphones and all the noise, they were amazing! I did not like the venue because of the sound system and the obnoxious, loud crowd.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Strumbellas where awesome!
by Bellasfan on 10/26/1720th Century Theater - CincinnatiI would highly recommend going to a Strumbellas concert! They put on an amazing show, lots of energy and fun! They include the audience as much as they can, which is a lot of fun. They are a must see band!

by Keriosity on 10/26/1720th Century Theater - CincinnatiThis was a great show to take in. The group had a ton of energy and involved the crowd frequently throughout the evening. The whole band is entertaining, but the female violinist was my favorite! She is fantastic! I would see them again if given the chance :)
Rating: 5 out of 5by Loreny on 10/26/1720th Century Theater - Cincinnati The Strumbellas were amazing, as was the opening act, Noah Kahan. I’d never been to the 20th Century Theater, but loved it! We were right beside the stage and had an excellent view of the show. This was probably one of my favorite shows, and I’ve been to a lot.

by musicgirl79 on 10/26/1720th Century Theater - CincinnatiThe Strumbellas were absolutely amazing! I loved how you could feel the great energy from the band and crowd. The set list was thought out and made the show flow. The only complaint...female bartender was rude. Overall super fun experience!
