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."

Rating: 3 out of 5 Missing Something
by Bcava on 2024-02-12Commodore Ballroom - VancouverShow was a little disappointing. There was trouble with the sound for the first half. Hard when they use a lot of harmony, but you can only really hear the leads voice. You'd think this would be straightened out before the show. Also, just generally lacking in energy. They tried to get the crowd into the show in the second half, but when the band hasn't really put a lot into it, you can't expect the crowd to. Maybe they just had a bad night.

by yvon on 2019-06-30MTELUS - MontrealThe Strumbellas in my case gave me a great show for the third time. I have now them in Montreal 3 times and every time, they seem to be getting better. Can't wait to see them again!

by abrasion on 2017-07-09Metropolis - MontrealWhitehorse played for way too long. They're good, but opening acts should warm up the crowd, not tire them out. The Strumbellas took their time coming out, but were great fun when they came out, as always.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Fantastic energy - The Strumbellas and The Zolas!
by HimAndHer on 2016-10-28Burton Cummings Theatre - WinnipegSunday was the second time we've seen The Strumbellas live and they did not disappoint! This was a high energy show with great crowd interaction. They did slow it down for a couple of songs and that led to a very intimate feeling. And The Zolas were a great surprise to us. Very upbeat music and a perfect complement to the main act!

by ROMAHK on 2016-10-26Burton Cummings Theatre - WinnipegVery pleased with the show put on by the Strumbellas. Had three seats located at the front row of 1rst Balcony. In my opinion, that's the best spot to watch from in the place. I find the building to be poor for concerts, getting in and out isn't a strong point for the Burt. If you want to stand to watch a song/show - it's not generally allowed in the balcony's and I've found they let some people (pay extra maybe?) stand at the front of the stage and not others, they need to stay at their seats. We arrived halfway through the opening act. I'd only heard a single song ever before from the Zolas, played on radio. Wasn't impressed by them, and won't be upset if I don't see them again. They had good energy, just not into their kind of music. Way to much synth. Strumbellas came on, and I was super impressed! I'd seen them once before, and it was the same fun energy. They interacted with the crowd, and did a great job of entertaining. I will for sure be going to see these guys again!
